I grew up on OS/2 Warp on a PS/1 Consultant. I still have a couple of boxes with original copies of OS/2 Warp and the manuals and optional software disks in my back closet. I guess you could say I have a soft spot for it. It was really ahead of its time compared to its contemporaries, second only to BeOS. But people who weren't techies back in the early 90s didn't see the value in buying a different operating system when their system came with DOS and Windows 3.1. And, honestly, they were probably right! Computers didn't really have the oomph or the networking capabilities at the time to power all the multimedia applications IBM had in mind. So I can't really judge the MTA too harshly because OS/2 is solid and it'll probably gladly do the job for another 30 years so long as the hardware lasts.
