Date: Fri, 03 Apr 2009 20:16:55 -0400 From: madodel Subject: [VOICENWS] Net: OS/2 mentioned in a couple of Computer World articles ++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++ From: Mark Dodel http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9129459 "Gone but not forgotten: 10 operating systems the world left behind AmigaOS, CP/M, OS/2, DOS -- which OS do you miss the most? By Matt Lake You're not really supposed to love an operating system. It's like your car's hydraulic system, your digestive system or the global financial system. It's supposed to do its job -- and not get in your way while you're doing yours..." The followup article to that is: http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9130758 "OS/2 leads readers' favorite OSs of yesteryear Also acclaimed: VAX/VMS, DR-DOS, Atari TOS and more. Oh, the memories! When Computerworld set out to reminisce about "gone but not forgotten" operating systems, we didn't attempt to be comprehensive, but instead chose to focus on 10 of the most memorable desktop operating systems -- some of which, we cheerfully admitted, are neither true OSs nor completely "gone." Many readers wrote in to laud the operating systems in our list, most notably OS/2." -- For a choice in the future of personal computing, Join VOICE - http://www.os2voice.org [Moderator's note: All posts are sent without guarantee to the accuracy of the content.
