Of course Turbo Pascal for Windows is only $99 for people who have
owned any other Borland language product, so for the $50 that many of
us paid for Windows under MS's extremeley generous upgrade plan (I
used the 1.1 runtime with Balance of Power for my upgrade) plus $99,
you could have a pretty nice Windows development platform. For those
in higher education, wasn't there a $99 offer for Actor too at one
time.  Personally I don't even see why we are discussing OS/2 2.0
until it's finally released... I am sure it will be really great, but
why don't we all wait until it's released before saying what it will
or won't include and how it will perform.

Perhaps we could prune the newsgroups line too to take this out of
comp.os.msdos and any windows group too.
