Perhaps of interest...

Wonderful article, Ms. Schindler.  As usual, your writing is of first rate quality.  CIO may have the influence on a key audience that, in turn, might influence IBM to some action towards open sourcing at least some portions of OS/2 code.

Thanks for the kind words.

My friend volker weber in Germany also posted a link on his blog, which generated an interesting conversation -- largely from a bunch of the folks from the Lotus Notes universe. It's worth reading; these are good folks. (And Bob Balaban and I must have crossed paths ever-so-briefly at Lotus, back when I was a contractor on 1-2-3 for OS/2 back in the 80s. That was OS/2 1.0...)
