OS/2 still exists. I forget the name it is going by these days and most, if not
all bank branches use this. It is sort of like the death of COBOL. It is still
alive and kicking.
BTW, I was one of the founding members of TeamOS/2 and would still be using
it today if it were not for a change of heart of IBM in 1999. At that point
OS/2 was up to version 4.0, which I helped perform QA on.
Same here. "The OS/2 Hobbit" was in my sigline for years. (I thought
something a little gentler than all those Blue Ninjas was wanted.) It
took MS until XP for Windows even to approximate OS/2's quality.
I have finally personally decided to switch to Mac. I'm hoping that OOo
Aqua will be ready by then; in the meantime, I'm making sure that all my
files and programs are portable. (Linux is off the table until Sibelius
makes a Linux version.)
