I've just being to the PC'92 show in Melbourne, Australia and OS/2 was
offered there for A$99 (approx. US$72) for any version (upgrade or 3.5"
or 5.25" etc) .... but of course not the ES.

The Developers' Seminar is also coming up for A$700 ffor the Basic enrolment
or A$1400 for the 'Winning Post' enrolment. The deal include all seminars,
lunches, teas, and:
1) for the Basic enrolment:
- CD ROM with OS/2 2.x; 32-bit Graphics Engine (Beta); Dev. Migration Kit
  from Windows to OS/2 (Beta); demo. version of GPF (what is this GPF???);
  and "Plus more!" (dunno what else they will give away).

2) for the 'Winning Post' Enrolment:
- the above in (1) PLUS:
  a CD-ROM Player (good value??); Os/2 2.0 device driver (what device driver?);
  an additional CD ROM with Borland Object Vision, C Dev. Workset/2 (entire
  OS/2 Toolkit -> What is the normal value of this?? Is this toolset good??);
  OS/2 Tech. Ref. Library in Bookmanager Read format; Bookmanager Read/2
  program; and "Plus more!" (What more??)

Unfortunately, they are not offering special prices for educational institution.
Otherwise, I'll probably be interested to go (even the CD ROM player alone
cost about A$650-750 here).

Regards,
Wey

PS: Just thought people may like to know what is happening to this "remote" end
of the world. Finally, the dates are 17-20 August in Sydney and 18-21 August
in Melbourne.
