A bimonthly print magazine released by [[IBM]]'s Personal Systems Division in Texas, USA that was during its later years squarely focused on OS/2, although some other PS Division subjects such as ''PowerPC'' were covered from time to time. Note that it was not a free marketing publication but rather intended as a technical magazine for manager and required a somewhat hefty paid subscription, but on the other hand it was a professionally designed publication had an excellent layout and even had custom created cartoons, graphic illustrations and the like. | A bimonthly print magazine released by [[IBM]]'s Personal Systems Division in Texas, USA that was during its later years squarely focused on OS/2, although some other PS Division subjects such as ''PowerPC'' were covered from time to time.

Latest revision as of 18:09, 15 December 2024
A bimonthly print magazine released by IBM's Personal Systems Division in Texas, USA that was during its later years squarely focused on OS/2, although some other PS Division subjects such as PowerPC were covered from time to time. Note that it was not a free marketing publication but rather intended as a technical magazine for manager and required a somewhat hefty paid subscription, but on the other hand it was a professionally designed publication had an excellent layout and even had custom created cartoons, graphic illustrations and the like.
