From: Randal Whittle <whittle@chaph.usc.edu> Date: Mon, 7 Nov 1994 18:15:15 -0800 (PST) Is there an upgrade price to Warp for a licensed owner of both version 2.0 and version 2.1 OS/2 for Windows? There's not a special upgrade price, but there is a coupon for people upgrading from OS/2 for Windows to OS/2 Warp v3. I believe there are still quite a few of these coupons available -- I saw boxes plastered with them at CompUSA last week. The coupon is for a $50 rebate, and is good until December 31. I can think of two ways to get a coupon: the salesperson at Indelible Blue told me that he could get some (I was ordering Warp at the time -- they're asking $79 which is not unreasonable), or you could go to a software store that still carries v2.1 and remove one from a box there (yikes! did I really suggest this?), which doesn't seem so unreasonable since you have already paid for OS/2 for Windows. Also, there's been a lot of discussion of this in the "comp.os.os2.misc" newsgroup lately, though I haven't followed it to see exactly what has been discussed. And is Warp cheaper if you get the CD-ROM version? Can you make install diskettes from the CD-ROM? As far as I know the price is the same for either ($75 at Egghead is the best price I've seen). After the rebate this is $25, which is pretty reasonable. Actually, it turns out to be cheaper to buy OS/2 for Windows just to get the coupon -- I've seen it selling for $25, which would mean that the total cost to get Warp is $50 -- and then throw away the old version.
