Sniping aside, I recall OS/2 with fondness, but most of my experience
goes no further than 2.1. If you laid out the long green for the PTI
kit, development was a pleasant experience. The documentation was
well organized and very accurate (and on real paper), technical
support was prompt and courteous and you didn't have to beg for
updates.
After Warp, things got pretty crufty and it wasn't as much fun.
Perhaps that's the case with all operating systems--they don't age
gracefully.

It occurs to me that OS/2 is one of the OSes I have yet to spend an
appreciable amount of time with that I keep meaning to (another
example being VMS...)
Where would you guys suggest starting if I wanted to get a good feel
for it? (what versions, what hardware, what fun software to play
around with...)
Heck, where would one get a legit copy of this these days?

Um.
Can you say "OS/2"?
OS/2 has a personality. What kind of personality is up to debate. ;-)
