- I have an idea. Everyone, send the cover from your Windows 3.1 manual (I
- know you all have at least _one_. I have two full licensed copies myself.)
- to Bill Gates and tell him you want either a free upgrade to OS/2 2.1 or
- your money back for Windows since it doesn't do anything useful.
-
- For that matter, send the whole manual, postage due, to his house. Anyone
- worth that much money deserves to get 20,000 pounds of mail postage due.
