This is a hilariously stupid statement. It's *ALL* IBM's fault that OS/2 
is dead. Are you kidding? VOLUMES have been written about how badly IBM 
has botched things up. I mean, Win95 is *how* late? And IBM utterly 
FAILED to take advantage of that window of opportunity, that FREEBIE, 
that Microsoft left for them. They totally screwed the pooch, from a 
marketing standpoint.
