IBM's OS/2 has a great history as a workstation operating system, it was a major alternative OS in the '90s. At its peak time in the mid-'90s OS/2 had about 2 million users but the Windows NT and Windows 95 releases broke its further development. This year Serenity Systems has released a new client version of OS/2. This article will introduce you to what OS/2 is all about. You will learn its history, its user interface, and its power under the hood. The article is also accompanied by a number of screenshots.

Hi Lydia!

You should try out Moneydance, many Quicken users praise it. I find it very usable of taking care
of my finances. It is a Java application, but OS/2 runs fine Java.
Thanks Eugenia for a nice and balanced article. Having going through OS/2 versions 1.1 - WSeB - eCS,
I see eCS as a welcome attempt to get new users to a very good OS. OS/2 is at home , but at work
we e.g. constantly struggle againts viruses and other Wintroubles.
