I won't say anything, I won't say anything, I won't . . . AIEEEE! ;-)
Just some data points: I use OS/2 here as an integrating platform
between a TSO environment, some DOS applications I have to support,
and some MS-Win apps our office uses.
Anacomp, one of the largest microfiche corporations in the US, uses
OS/2 as their server for high-speed data-line transfers.
Want a smaller example? Keyfile in New Hampshire uses OS/2 as the
backbone for their LAN -- they're an MS-Windows shop.
I won't waste anymore bandwidth on this topic, I just wanted to show
that people do use it in industry.
