[OPLINTECH] Computer Museum II

[Mann, James H.]

Many years ago, well before most of you were born, IBM was a major sponsor at Dayton ComputerFest to show off its new OS.
During the first program of the day, in the largest auditorium available a poor besotted IBM demo guy decided that he was going to show how easy it was to install OS/2.
Two hours later, as the crowd left shaking their heads in disbelief the poor fellow was still stuffing in disks.
This stuff makes me feel like the "elder" from the TV commercial...he who speaks of floppy disks.

Ok. You knew how many disks. You've out-geeked me. Lol

This is a white elephant deal then. Only have 2 floppies. <.< but I'll bet they're the 2 *important* floppies. :)

START YOUR COLLECTION NOW!  Get the first two disks free and agree to complete your rare set of OS/2 -complete installation set- for only $9,95 a month for each extra disk. (subject to early penalties for not completing 30-month contract, disks may not be installable in all states)
