- Or better yet, get OS/2 2.0 (available now) and wait for Borland to
- release their compiler support for it (supposed to be by the end of
- the year, which I suspect is going to be well before NT is generally
- available (and working).
-
- [Or, if you HAVE to have a Microsoft product, buy the 'pre-Beta' of NT
- that is available. Oh, yes. Also buy a CD-ROM drive and make sure
- you have at least 12 MB of memory.]
