I have never used OS/2 and would like to start playing it. Where can I get a copy of OS/2?

In Europe, via Mensys B.V. in Holland, in America you can order online at www.software.ibm.com/os/warp, or you can search eBay for a second-hand version. Many computer stores will be able to order a new copy for you, but then you'll have to make clear that you want OS/2 and nothing else than OS/2... Once you get to know, you'll find out OS/2 rules!

Or you can order eCommStation, the successor to OS/2 v4

You can usually find a copy of WARP3 or 4 on eBay. Probably less than $20. Try to get a CD-ROM version (which is the only flavor Warp 4 comes in). You can get the most recent (free) fixpacks (fp15 for Warp 4) for both on a CD-ROM from www.bmtmicro.com for about $20, it comes with a very nice installation package that makes it v-e-r-y easy. More recent fixpacks require a subscription to IBM Software Choice ($200 for 2 years) and don't come with that nice installation package. Fixpacks are cumulative, you only have to install the most recent one to get all of the modifications.
