Good question. That's why I'm > asking if I can buy it a bit cheaper as an upgrade (and does anyone > want to buy a OS/2 2.1 for Windows?

No. No. Yes. :-) IBM is really pushing sales via retail channels this time, the downside being the street price is much lower than the upgrade price. If you bought 2.1 for Windows recently, you can get a $50 rebate on Warp. I'd call IBM to check how recent is recent. If you didn't buy OS/2fWin recently, you might be able to - it's been seen for as little as $15, which after the $50 rebate works to a net rebate of $35. Otherwise, street price is $70-$85; upgrade price is $129; and full retail price is something like $189. There is no price difference between CD and floppy. With 600MB of space available on a CD, the CD version had BETTER have floppy images on it. Warp with Win-OS/2 is supposed to be out in a few months and should be $20 more. But each store is free to set their own prices so who knows. _______________________________________________________________________ |\_______________________________________________________________________\ | | | | | John H.
