- The Radius XGA-2 card will RETAIL (not "List") for $499 because IBM wants
- to bleed Radius for licensing fees. Thus, IBM screws over Radius, who
- will lose a lot of sales (me, for one), the typical OS/2 customer who
- wants a faster system, and themselves all at once.
-
- IBM is to be congratulated on yet another brilliant marketing scheme.

- This is clearly a good example why Windows NT presents such a threat to
- the upper level OS market. Microsoft might just care about it's customers
- (unlike Big Blue) and take out the market right out from under them.
-
- Anybody know where I can get an NT beta???
