   I used to do 2nd level support for iomega in the early 90's, one of the few on    
   the OS/2 queue specifically (most of my calls were OS/2 or jazz drive)...

   and a few mishaps with personal projects... thanks source-control (svn/cvs)    
   and dropbox.   
      
   I liked it a lot back then, but when NT4 came out (late '96 iirc), I switched    
   and never really looked back. NT3.51 wasn't as good as OS/2 imho, but NT4    
   passed it (think Warp 3 was current at that time).
