- the news report i read said that OS/2 was remaining inside the
- existing IBM division which now is based around high end pc's (?)
- and the RS6000 workstations. the usual anti OS/2 line in the
- guardian newspaper weekly computer section gloated over the
- fact that the IBM PC division could now ditch OS/2.
-
- also, someone from the new PC company (cannavino ?) said that
- it would be so independent that they might consider getting an
- indenpendent stock market quotation in a couple of years.
