Wayne,
I looked again in my official IBM Developer Assistance Program notebook and
I found my copy of the offer. It was $50.00 but it only included the end
user product (no development tools) (vs a v1.3 OS/2 RETAIL of $150.00) The
letter was dated in June.
In addition it stated "the significant areas missing are the new Workplace
Shell and the ability to run protect mode Microsoft Windows applications.
.. expected to be included in the next release of beta code later this
summer." <they're gonna hafta hurry>
Further: "Each beta release will be separately priced. The first release
is priced at $50.00 per copy".
Yikes! You pay for *each* beta release? <I hope Mark doesn't get any
bright ideas from this>.
