     POP was "copied" so many times that IBM was convinced that
     nobody was using or buying the product.

     They announced that they were going to drop it and it
     created such a uproar that they found out almost every
     single S/34 in the country had the product installed.

     Most of the installed base was a "free" copy...
     (Some accounts actually paid for it)

     One of the few "freeby" products to ever come out of IBM.
