I'm not saying that there was.  I'm saying that there is a fairly good 
chance of someone at some point in recorded history calling *something* 
OS/2, and it not having to do with IBM.  It might have even been 
something from the 1920s or something not having anything to do with 
computers.  Using absolutes like "only" and "never" can be dangerous.
