- No, this isn't the registration (along, if IBM were smart, they'd
- crossmatch the order list with the registration list; they just might
- be doing that).

- No, that's not the one either. That's for the toll free technical
- support (via 800-237-5511).

-
- The registration card will read:
-
- "OS/2 2.0
- 3.5-INCH DISKETTES
- REGISTRATION CARD"
-
- (or 5.25 inch diskettes, obviously). It is a card with a perforation
- down the middle. The lower half you send in; the upper half you can
- keep, if you like.
-
- There's also a change of address card for your registration. You can
- send this one in instead of the registration card, if you like. This
- will put you on their list, too.
-
- It really isn't that vital, though. If you're reading an online
- newsgroup, you'll know about things faster than IBM can let you know
- by mail.
