Every time I see OS/2 it seems like this bizarro timeline that I have difficulty reconciling with my experience at the time. It’s such at first familiar Windows 3.1 but upon closer inspection things are slightly different.
I even worked at Suncoast Video (subsidiary of the Musicland Group) whose POS ran OS/2 (though the main employee interface was TUI).
