I learned a lot about computers from my dad (and older brother), and had heard about OS/2 but never had a chance to use it myself until I bought a copy around 1995 or so.  There used to be a store in my area that sold used computer software (they closed down after a little while - I think the practice of a store selling used computer software was a legal grey area). I had bought a used copy of OS/2 there, and I remember it being on floppies and some of the disks were bad..  I later bought a new copy of OS/2 Warp 4 on CD-ROM from my local Egghead Software that used to be here.

I ran my BBS in Desqview for a bit once I learned how to set it up.  I only had one phone line for my BBS, so I used the second node to log in locally when there was a user on my BBS already.
