  • Why OS/2 Failed: Business Mistakes Compounded by Memory Prices
    Eric G. Swedin, Weber State University Davis

      Articles listed below were submitted in response to an open invitation for pieces on the 2008 financial crisis. I would like to thank the authors for their timely submissions, and the referees for quick turnarounds. Unfortunately, the 9 weeks between the invitation and the publication of Volume 9 # 2 at the end of 2008 did not leave enough time for all submissions to be evaluated. These 3 pieces missed that deadline.
