"Hey TNT Crew,
I was driving home from a trip to Normandy France this weekend and stopped at a Shell station along the A4 French Highway. The credit card machine was having serious problems for the person in front of me, so the clerk reached down beneath the counter. A few seconds later I saw the OS2/WARP splash screen go across the computer monitor. I must have stood there in awe for 2 minutes watching the computer boot.
Only in France do operating systems never die! I just couldn't believe it, a circa 1994 OS still alive and kicking on the French roadside! Anyway, I thought Tom would get a kick out of my story!
Cheers! Kory K - Landstuhl Germany" http://www.digibarn.com/collections/screenshots/IBM%20OS2%20Warp%204/index.htm
"Holographic world cup?
You may have seen this already. I'm only halfway through yesterday's podcast. However I thought the idea of a holographic world cup played in other stadiums was a pretty neat idea.
