One of the eastern supermarket chains runs OS/2,
running the checkout
lines. You would not know unless you see the machine boot.
I happened to be at two different banks drive-through ATM machines in recent
memory when they had failed and I was able to see them boot. The ATM
machines were actually running OS/2. And these weren't small local banks -
they were large regional/national ones.
At least in my own small experience and the customers I was exposed to, it
appeared that while OS/2 did make only a very tiny impression in the home
market, it was very common in corporate america. Some day I'd like to go
back and play with Warp :)
