Yeah, I believe IBM sold OS/2 to them a few years ago. But I wouldn't 
buy it now. I'm to deeply entrenched with Linux to be bothered with it. 
If I can ever get back home, I'll grab my OS/2 Warp 4 CDs and get them 
in a virtual session with either VirtualBox or VMWare.

Heh - I remember doing everything for my year of college in OS/2. I 
don't think it crashed once despite how much I played with the drivers 
to get them 'just right'. :)
