- Having just checked with IBM again 'to make sure', I find that they've
- changed their minds! (hey I don't mind being wrong if good things happen
- :-) IBM Oz will NOT bring in the beta of 2.1 by itself, but they WILL
- bring in the Dec PDK CD containing it afterall! :-) Australian DAP members
- can get it by sending a $AUS30 cheque payable to "IBM Australia" to:
-
- ATTN Rohaini Cain
- IBM OS/2 DAP
- PO BOX 400
- Pennant Hills NSW 2120
-
- OK, so there it is :-) Until next time..... :-)
