 I could never get TCP/IP, NETBIOS and IPX working on Warp, much to my
 chagrin, being the network guy and all. Not soon after, Windows 3.11
 came around with an IP stack, and it was good enough - plus they had
 all the apps.

 But, OS/2 had its moment. Loved the multitasking, and running OS/2 BBS
 binaries (Maximus, Squish and BinkleyTerm) was amazing. They ran in a
 minimized window on my OS/2 desktop and I barely noticed they were
 running.
