I remember installing and configuring a phone voicemail system on an OS/2 system once back around 1993. That’s about it though, never had enough experience on it to rate it but it was fairly easy enough to navigate around in.

Well, if you feel nostalgic, you can always run an OS/2 emulator.

I played around with OS/2 warp, but it was lacking for any driver support.

But, hey, it was nearly free (found the book and disks in a second hand store for $1)

Anyone remember or run across Metaphor Computer Systems? Windows, Mac OS and OS/2 and all the rest of them never even came close. I watched IBM stroll in, take over and kill the company. Somewhere, in a forgotten closet in MS Castle Redmond, lies a complete Metaphor file server, database server and four workstations. They looked at it and turned their backs on it.
