You may well not know it, but if you're still using an IBM PC compatible today (laptop or desktop), with Windows 10 or 11 (I use Windows 10 on my ThinkPad, which works well enough for me, where I'm a long standing fan of the TrackPoint joystick, and always disable the trackpad!), instead of using Microsoft's long standing Operating System (OS), you could very well have been using IBM's highly accomplished offering, if not for their several missteps in the PC OS war, where this SUPERB tech demo of the shrink-wrapped OS/2 2.1 (was available for purchase), is from June 1993, some EIGHT years before Microsoft's rough consumer equivalent, Windows XP was released on October 25th, 2001!
What spurred me to mirror this MUST WATCH video for computer enthusiasts, is that for some bizarre reason, Google doesn't want me to mention this video on 1984Tube, where I've had trouble in the past, and they just promptly DELETED a few comments of mine, where I just mentioned the search you needed to do to find the video, because if I included a link, the comment was immediately shadow-CENSORED!
The weird thing is, I also had the same trouble on X, where it's as if the Universe doesn't want this "alternate possible reality" to get out!
