Ah, OS/2 Warp.  Now there was an OS.  I once saw a demo at a
conference where a CD quality wave file was being played while several
videos and real-time animations were running at the same time and the
OS didn't skip a beat.  This was back BEFORE the Pentium II processor
was available.  We're talking the early Pentium chips pre-MMX.  I used
to sell OS/2 Warp and I had access to a machine that ran it.  The OS
was a lot like Unix in many ways but handled its drives with driver
letters like Windows and DOS.  Oh, and this was also back when Windows
NT first appeared too.  I remember at that same conference a MS guy
went up on the stage and demoed the first Windows NT.  The highlight
of his presentation were animated mouse pointers, I kid you not and
his system had BSOD afterwards.  His presentation was able that
astonishing OS/2 Warp presentation.
