The news story is about Encyclopedia Britannica stopping print publication, but up until now I didn't think about them as an on-line encyclopedia. Here is their entry for OS/2.

I read about the end of the print publication this morning... I had not realized they had been around 244 years.

Yep.

It was published in sections from 1768-1770.

In 1771 they printed their first, complete, edition together in 3 volumes...

That's written on the first pages of the 1st edition.
