First, with 1.3 you can upgrade for free to 2.0, which will offer "a better
DOS than DOS."  So either you or the person who gets it can have all the
wonderful stuff 2.0 offers that is being talked about around town.

>(a) Sell it for $200

This is quite a bit steep, since the new price of OS/2 Standard Edition
is $150 US, and can be had on the street for $110.  If you're a registered
DOS user, the upgrade is list $99, or probably $70 on the street.

OK, let the stampede begin.  :-)
