Probably a product of the people behind the nun ads. I wonder if 1.x made any appearance in anything?

I guess Microsoft learned with all the cringe-tastic surface astroturfing in the NFL.

I have no idea who in marketing wants to associate their product with that environment, but it’s quite visible.

Glad you found us! It always bugged me more people didn’t point it out, so as they say “build it and they will come”!

But this time I noticed an out-of-focus OS/2 box in one scene. Did web search to see if others have noticed and ended up here.

Pretty sure it was literally bargain basement “software” from goodwill… But it’s most def OS/2!

It should have been a WARP 4 Box 😉

I have the episode recorded on my DVR. I just haven’t figured out which one it is.

I don’t know what is worse, the fact I remember seeing it years ago, or that I even bothered to find the frame.
