   Part one:     
      
   "The unholy alliance of IBM and Microsoft unleashed OS/2 25 years ago with a   
   mission to replace Windows, Unix and DOS. Back then, I was a foot-soldier in   
   that war: a contract bug hunter at Big Blue. Here's how I remember it."

   Part two:     
      
   "My last piece on OS/2 was in part a mea culpa, a history of my part in its   
   downfall. However, I can't claim all the credit. In fact, if I'm honest, there   
   were hundreds of reasons why OS/2 failed, and most of them had nothing to do   
   with me. So, here are some of the real corkers."
