- I had the oppertunity to check out an IBM thinkpad 700c today. I was
- surprised that it did *not* have OS/2 installed. It was brand new, and had
- only DOS and some directories specific to the 700c.
-
- The color display was quite impressive, although the 'mouse' is extremely
- different. Its is a little red *thing* that sticks up from the middle of
- the keyboard.
-
- OS/2 would hae run extremely well on this machine. 'Tis a pitty that IBM
- did not bundle it.
-
- If it was our demo, I would through OS/2 on it and play. Has anyone done
- such a thing?
-
- cheers,

- OS/2 2.0...anything else is just a DOS.
