- Interesting that such a coupon is included (and quite admirable), but I
- wonder if it's a regular feature or a limited time offer? The IBM
- people I've spoken to have never mentioned it even though I asked quite
- specifically about deleting OS/2 from the Valuepoint machine in
- question. If, indeed, the package is free (or low cost) and the offer
- is a regular part of the Valupoint line, cheers to IBM!
