[Discussion] When you thought OS/2 was dead - its like the pink bunny it keeps on ticking

[Joseph J. Hansen]

October 29, 2007

I don't know whether a T shirt I have is the same as Gilbert's.  I  
got it either from Indelible Blue, or maybe from an advertiser in  
Extended Attribute magazine.  The shirt still fits, and I still wear  
it, mostly on special occasions like meetings of computer gurus or  
users.

Since this site doesn't accept posts of photos, I've taken a picture  
just of the image on the front of the shirt, which can be seen at  
http://www.captainos2.lexsa.com/

When you see the album, which only has this one photo, click on the  
picture for a larger view.

Captain OS/2 Lives!  Best wishes Joe Hansen
