Yes, I got one of those too. Really not sure as I would ever actually use OS/2
again, but I wouldn't mind getting a copy of Warp 4 for the sake of nostalgia -
I've got the Merlin beta release still, but no the final version. I did
download an image of an ISO of a demo with the intention of running it in a VM
to see what eComStation was like, but I haven't got round to it.
