That's interesting.  Maybe IBM has finally stopped ripping off us aussies!

Until the end of Feb "OS/2 for Windows" is available here for AUD59.00,
which is pretty near an exact conversion from your USD39.00 on current
exchange rates.  But it's not clear in the ads I've seen whether this is
just for the CD - I had assumed it was for disks (don't have a CDROM drive :-(

For aussies:  get it from IBM Direct, Ph. 008 805 109 (according to _PC Week_
8 Dec 93, p.7)

Cheers,  Ian S.
