success goes not to the best of the best but to those best able to sell themselves.

Don't forget the role played by the media, especially the PC media. They were totally befuddled by the "whizkid" versus the "old fuddy" image of the IBM developers and OS/2 users.

Does anyone remember the "Steve Barkto" incident?

I was one of those OS/2 users. Still am, although the system is now supported by Arca Noae, out of Europe.

OS/2 was and still is, infinitely superior to all versions of Windows.

Agreed!
