I... wow. That's a new one.

I have just hung up from a phone call which included the question “is there anyone in your department who still uses OS/2 Warp? I have an X-Ray Crystallography tomographic Lorenz tubes Holodeck here, and the controller PC runs on OS/2 Warp, but now it gives a ‘hard drive controller error’...”

The last time I used OS/2 Warp was ... um ... «looks it up» 1996ish. That's thirteen years ago, and never a look back.

I don't think I'll get another question that interesting any time soon.

OS2???

You're modern. I'm hanging out for the first call to deal with an Altair 8800... :P
