A very insignificant small part...

Advertising something no one sells is a waste of time, and the ad's were as
lame as they could get.  The ad farce was a farce, after all.  Why would
someone advertise a product that was sold almost no where, and the places it
was supposedly sold were almost always out of the product, even at major
releases, like WARP...

I've been using it since the October pre-release beta... What, 1991 I think. 
OS/2 has never disappointed me, IBM, MS and INTEL, along with ZIFF-DAVIS and
the DOJ are the theives that screwed the public big time.  I watched it all
happen, intently.

I also handed them an $18 million contract on a golden platter almost, and
they YAWNED!  Never bothered to even look into it.  Probably a lot more than
18 big ones on hind-sight.  No IBM did not WANT OS/2 to be used, ever, not for 
one day.
