Re: OT - Just seen inside a Woolwich ATM machine

["Roger Sibley" <automated.house@xxxxxxx>]

Although no longer available as an operating system in it's own right, OS/2
is still used quite a bit internally in IBM hardware, for example the z/800
mainframe has a couple of Thinkpads controlling the internals of the
system.
I think the IBM trend though is a move towards Linux for this function.
