I received my new Heathkit catalog yesterday and was surprised to see
the rediculously low prices for these products.  CP/M-86 is selling for
$99.00 (was $250.00) and MPM-86 for $99.00 (was $649.00!!).

Not being familiar with the capabilities, limitations and availability
of applications software for these products, I wondered if these were
"dead" operating systems.  I use mainly CP/M-85 and MS-DOS.

Can someone convince me that:
   A.  These prices are the bargain of the century!!
                       or
   B.  They aren't worth the shipping cost.

Thanx for your help.
