At work, two years ago, a new CNC showed up..... with OS/2 Warp for a HMI.... 
seriously... no one knows os/2 anymore and I didn't even use it when dabbling 
in win95, DOS, etc.... so I have had to learn it.

Machine is from 1999.. os/2 is clearly in the classic era of GUI 
experimentation... woo drag and drop...

i'm considered old beause i grew up on DOS.... and it's layered variants..

to me the classic era is the early OS era, 8 bit micrcomputers, and 
minicomputer era... minicomputers without CRT displays scare and confuse me...
such a foreign concept but i'm genuinely intrigued..
