- last night i saw an ad in PCW (a UK computer mag) for OS/2 v1.0
- and v1.3 ... presumably new copies as it was from a pc dealer ...
- at #19 which is about $40.
-
- however, i'm not too sure if the OS/2 v2 upgrade offers are still
- valid in the UK (anyway i already got my DOS->OS/2 v2 on the first
- day of the UK launch :-).
