Last I heard OS/2 was still very much alive, although IBM's attitude
towards it is surly to say the least. But unlike some companies I could
mention, IBM knows better than to refuse to accept money from their
customers
just because the customers want to buy something other than whatever new
toy the IBM management is excited about this week. So it will probably
keep getting *some* support as long as the customers are willing to pay
for it.

there will be an OS2 version update later this year (4.5?) which will offer
usb support amongst other things. recently fixpak 13 was announced. of
course, downloading it all and installing it is a major task in itself.
