Oh OS/2... multitasking that worked and higher reliability than Windows 3/95 (for the most part). A job I had at the time required doing incremental and full backups of an OS/2 box, and also transmitting backoffice data to corporate. It was reasonably solid.

Historical minutia c. 1994:

Fry's Electronics botched the OS/2 Warp launch by misspelling, in 192 pt red font, "OS/2 WRAP [sic]", not once but 3-4x IIRC in their full-page SJ Mercury News ad.
