This video chronicles the life and achievements of Stephan Von Molnar, a scientist and manager at the IBM T. J. Watson laboratory, as seen through the eyes of friends and colleagues. His achievements in science, most notably with the physics of magnetic semiconductors (now known as spintronics) was offset and rather diminished by the consequences of his obsession with IBM's OS/2 operating system. Many historians have speculated about what kind of technological world we might inhabit today, had his obsession become reality.
Funny that there are three dislikes, but no comments. This must mean that there are there cowards or incompetents in the audience.

There is a Von Molnar in all of us who have had the pleasure to use OS/2.
Someone needs to tell the entire OS/2 story and be attractive enough to get people to read it.
Good job!
btw: did Steve ever work with Carver Mead? Trying to make the OS/2 -> Foveon connection.
