Speaking of how 'much' OS/2 will set you back:

The New York Times (4/16) had an article that stated IBM was cutting
the price of OS/2 starting tomorrow.
			   --------

	Specifically: SE from $340 -> $150
		      EE from $830 -> $690

Sounds good to me.  I wonder if student prices still apply?  If so
that would be ridiculously cheap, as far as bang for the buck.  I
guess there is no longer a reason for people to say it is too
expensive.  Now they can just complain that there is no software out
there! :-)
