I reject your reality, and substitute my own.

Now what's this "OS2" you speak of? Is that some kind of "tech warrior" slang? I mean we all KNOW that it couldn't possibly be some kind of OS. I mean if it was, people would actually use it right?

I think most here run Win2K, but I'm not really certain.

OS2 has an interesting history if you read up on it. It was going to be Windows until Microsoft and IBM had a disagreement.
