- And while we're on that subject, OS/2 2.1beta shipped a few weeks
- ago. My $ 20 CD-ROM included the developer's tools, C compiler,
- TCP package, etc. Unfortunately, the license was good 'til November 15
- or whenever the product is officially available. Microsoft has never
- offered me any such benefits.
