Are there orgs out there still running OS/2 ?
7 comments

The grocery store I worked at as a teenager had an OS/2 frontend to an AS/400 that was hooked into all of the cashier stations and inventory management. I doubt that they've replaced it.
The eComStation site lists some orgs who are using it - http://ecomstation.com/

Wasn't that the one NSA hacked?

Used to be quite popular with ATMs, so I wouldn't be surprised if a few of those still survived for banks where they connect to IBM mainframes.
Our voicemail server is OS/2. :(
IIRC it was pretty popular for running Lotus Notes. But who uses that anymore either?
It's called IBM Notes now, and people do indeed still run it.
I believe the New York MTA use OS2 for their MTA metro card activity
They run Windows NT 4 on the mvm and even have a custom badged start up screen http://salim.virji.net/pix/transit/mta/crashed_metrocard_ven...

The OS/2 stuff is used on the back end of the metro card system.

Ah so they use OS/2!
