last night i saw an ad in PCW (a UK computer mag) for OS/2 v1.0
and v1.3 ... presumably new copies as it was from a pc dealer ...
at #19 which is about $40.

however, i'm not too sure if the OS/2 v2 upgrade offers are still
valid in the UK (anyway i already got my DOS->OS/2 v2 on the first
day of the UK launch :-).
