- The semi-official line is that the "Service Pak" will cost a few
- dollars if you call up IBM and ask for diskettes. However, you will
- also be able to download it electronically from BBSes (e.g. the IBM
- NSC BBS, IBM OS/2 BBS), online services (e.g. CompuServe), and through
- the Internet, at no cost other than connect time charges, if any.
- Also, there will be no restriction on duplicating the Service Pak, so
- you can get it from a friend, coworker, or someone else.
-
- This policy is much like Apple's or WordPerfect's, I believe.
