So, you know what YouTube needs? More OS/2 content. You know what I've never seen documented (in video form): upgrading through every version of OS/2.

Is it even possible? I have absolutely no idea.

Starting with a 286 based system and Microsoft OS/2 1.0, the plan is upgrade through each 16-bit version (in PCem) of 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3, to the 32-bit versions (2.0, and 2.1), then Warp, Warp Connect, and finally OS/2 4.52. There's no official upgrade path to eCommStation or ArcaOS, so that will have to wait until a future video.

We might also try some interesting quirks of OS/2 such as installing Windows 3.0, testing some backwards compatibility and more. Ideas are welcome as we go along.
