Message-ID: <1991Apr25.220311.587@serval.net.wsu.edu> Date: 25 Apr 91 22:03:11 GMT References: Sender: news@serval.net.wsu.edu (USENET News System) Organization: Washington State University Lines: 34 I've been reading here and in Info-World that the new costs for OS/2 1.3 SE is $150, and that there is an upgrade from IBM Dos for $99. I've alsoe read that I should be able to get an educational Discount on that, and that IBMs standard for Educational discounts is -40% of list. I called our Campus Personal Computing center to find out if I could buy one of these two deals. (And I mean DEALS) The person I talked to yesterday didn't have any data on OS/2 she could give me as they don't stock it on the store, but she did tell me that Dos 4.01 goes for $125, so she thought my guess on procing was off. This morning I got a call back for information on what I wanted. (This person was one who deals with organization there) I told her that I was looking to get OS/2 1.3 SE, and maybe the DOS upgrade. She told me that there was not a DOS Upgrade, but the only listing she could pull up was for EE OS/2, and it was $695. The question is: Is there a DOS UPgrade? If so, what is the difference in packaging from buying the whole package new? If there is not a Dos Upgrade, What is the actual price of (Currently available) OS/2? Is IBM's Educational policy a strict -40% like I've been lead to believe?
