Aye, and I'm looking at tinkering with a beta of the latest version (2.2) this week. Hence the current desire to make sure everything can work. :) We currently have our database server and a number of clients all running OS/2. The greatest criticism of OS/2 is that it's been left behind. For instance, its native scripting language, REXX, doesn't have inbuilt Unicode support... but it does support DBCS. If you don't even know what DBCS *is*, that'll tell you how useful that is these days.
