- The following is part of a notice I just found on CompuServe
- (I was trying to figure out how to make OS/2 reboot from a commandline
- program #@*@#*$ OS. [If you know how, e-mail me.])
-
- Anyway I was shocked to find that they seem to be going back to
- charging $895 for WorkSet/2. (I mean WorkSet/2 is barely worth the $295!)
- I can only hope that revision Ian Ameline has talked about is coming soon!
-
- This policy is so insane! MS is practically giving away its SDK and IBM
- charges 3 times or more what their's is worth!
-
- BTW, all those that told me IBM technical docs were $240 list... you were
- wrong... see below.
-
- Anyway, if you've been putting off doing it, better act now.
