- My mom just went to Radio Shack, and she thinks that she wants a sensation.
- I look at the computer, and I see that I can get a better deal in other
- places, at least for the hardware, I think. What is a sensation that
- any 486sx with cd and local bus graphics is not? How much do the multimedia
- extensions to Windows cost, and are these -like Winmate, whatever that is-
- available from other sources? I know that tandy has proclaimed itself a
- leader in multimedia, but is the sensation really anything special?
-
- If these multimedia things (msworks for MM, Winmate, MSbookshelf)
- are all available seperately, will they run properly under OS/2 2.[0,1]?
- I want the parents to get os/2, but cant really justify in their eyes.
-
- So if you know about the sensation, its hardware, and included software,
- and running multimedia (cdrom) apps. under os/2, please write me.
-
- Thanks,
- Matt Grice

- Hey! Can I ditch my 6000 as a trade in? I like unix, but the 6000 is not
- unix, IMO. I think os/2 would be neater, and especially when os/2 3.0
- comes out. Wow. Mach kernel and unix compatibility.
- TRS dealers! Please tell me you will give me megabucks to ditch the 6000!
