Hmmm.. Really? I've never seen used OS/2 1.0 for sale in used
bookstores. How much would you expect to pay considering the idiot
who bought it in the first place paid $400 for it and thinks it
ought to be worth at least half of that....

How long will the upgrade for Windows users be active? I'm waiting
for the fast Tseng ET4000 drivers before I get mine if at all.. I 
hear SVGA support sucks right now.
