Things You Don't See Anymore Part 3

Sears sold the "Craftsman" brand to the Stanley tool company last year. I was in a Lowe's Home Improvement store recently and they are starting to carry Craftsman tools.
The good old days?!? You gotta be kidding me. Still, I made a pretty good living setting up OS2 servers on a token ring network.
The plant I worked at had 4Mbit token ring most places, but those of us in IT had 16Mbit. lol. We ran Novell servers before NDS and used DOS/Win3.1 and OS/2 desktops. We did have one server running Microsoft OS/2! I think those diskettes were thrown in the trash. I'm sure they are worth gold now being so rare.
OS/2 1.3 was solid. I worked on a shop floor data collection project where we used 1.3 to collect sensor data and used SNA APPC to forward the data to an AS/400. It was rock solid. Then, OS/2 2.0 (Warp) came out and it was so bad that the project was halted.
As bad as Warp was, support for it was 1,000 times worse.
I worked for a bank in branch automation. We started with OS/2 servers on a token ring network running Windows 3.1 workstations. Later we scrapped the servers and network for Novell Netware on an Ethernet network.

Kibble, milkbones, and P Basses. And redheads.
I have a feeling there probably were about three games, and all they did was switch out the graphics, to turn it into about 30.
Had a similar set as a kid. My friend and I sold seeds (from the back of a comic book) in order to get those walkie-talkies. My first venture into capitalism!
Could very well have been. We're talking over 45 years ago, but that looks familiar. Great find!
Got some of those for my grandkids a year or two ago.
It wasn't something electronic so they quickly became bored with them.
