BTW, one thing that did bother me was when IBM was sending out free OS/2 Warp 3 CDs in magazines.  At computer shows you might find someone who was selling the CDs, which was a violation of the license terms.

n.b. I used to be the OS/2 Product specialist at IBM Canada, in the late 90s.  I was the top OS/2 support person in the country and used to run the OS/2 version of StarOffice, which evolved into OpenOffice and LibreOffice, on my home computer.


I liked OS/2 when I was using it. If I remember correctly I purchased a copy of version 1.2 really cheap about the time Warp3 was coming out. It included DB2 and a bunch of development tools and I was able to upgrade to Warp for free. I can't remember exactly what I did but I would periodicity get a bunch of cd's with all kinds of interesting stuff on them. Redbooks, updates, etc. I kept using it through the eComStation days but finally it got just to hard to use it anymore so I switched to linux.
