      Watching a legal office interview from 1994 and the attorney said that he chose OS/2 for his office because his secretaries couldn't double click and since OS/2 didn't require that they were able to work with that.

      Isn't it amazing what kind of technical barriers humans have managed to overcome. Imagine not being capable of double clicking today!

        WOW! It's probably people like this that prompted Microsoft to add the "feature" of single-click to open. Working on computers that have that enabled drives me batty.

          @ITcrackerjack yup. It was a specific "shortcoming" compared to OS/2.

            I always wanted a copy of OS/2 to virtualize. Tried a few times and never could get it virtualized. Just for nostalgic reasons...

              I had some while I was at IBM. But even in 2000 they had basically transitioned away from it. But Token Ring was still going strong.
