- You read it right. I was going through the TV channels today and
- suddenly I saw the WPS on the TV screen. As it turns out, the soap
- "Another World" was featuring IBM's OS/2 2.0 running on a IBM PC.
- It was running a chess program, which I never seen for OS/2. I
- believe it was a custom program just for this show as it evolved
- around some chess game. Hmmmmm, OS/2 2.0 already appearing on TV.
- Not to mention that a few weeks ago, the show "Americas Most Wanted"
- was featuring IBM's ValuePoints which are used for criminal
- investigations.
