- On Oct 12 I orderd OS/2 2.0 from IBM. As part of the deal I
- was to send in the title page of my Microsoft windows manaul.
- Needless to say that I did so immidiatly after receiving my new
- copy of OS/2.
-
- Yesterday I got a letter from IBM informing me that I had not sent
- them the Windows title page; and threatning to collect $20.00 from my
- credit card if they did not recieve it within 15 days.
- So I called their toll free
- number and was told that EVERYONE who bought the package in Oct
- has received the letter. I was also told that a representitve will
- call me back within a week to discuss the matter.
-
- Seems to me that IBM is about to make a bundle annoying their customers
- and overloading their toll free number. (It took only five minutes to get
- through.. )
