2 unusual facts about Team OS/2


Team OS/2

Ultimately, at least some of Microsoft's efforts were exposed on Will Zachmann's Canopus forum on CompuServe, where the owner of one particular account, ostensibly belonging to "Steve Barkto", (who had been attacking OS/2, David Barnes, Whittle, and other OS/2 fans) was discovered to be funded by the credit card of Rick Segal, a high-level Microsoft employee / evangelist, who had also been active in the forums.

Other names associated with Team OS/2 and the user-level enthusiasm movement were "OS/2 Evangelist" David Barnes (IBM's official group-presentation master), Doug Azzarito (OS/2 Programmer now at Dell), Gene Barlow (IBM's Father of PC User Groups), and "Travelin' Man" Keith Wood (an Arizona volunteer featured in PCWeek Magazine's special report on Team OS/2).
