 SH> Curious, what practical application does os/2 have today other than
 SH> nostaliga? 

For me, pure nostalgia. I have no practical use for it today. It is just
fun to look back on something I admired in the past and wanted but never
purchased and used anyway. I was a DOS/Windows user mostly. Today my
main desktop is Linux on both my laptops and my desktop. I use other
OS's as needed/wanted in virtual machines on top of Linux.
