IIRC, I picked up 2.1 and 3 for around $75(maybe less). Since I don't have them or any newer versions, I'd have to pay the full price for it. Out of my budget.
I bought 2.0, 2.1, 3 & 4. I bought Warp 4 in Sept. 1996. I then started working at IBM, for the first time, in April 1997 as 3rd level OS/2 support for IBM Canada employees. I was surprised to see they were still running Warp 3 there. I helped build the standard Warp 4 desktop for the company. While at IBM, I had CDs coming out of my ears! ;-) I managed to acquire a a couple more copies of Warp 4, Warp Server and lots of other stuff, including some Linux CDs. All I had to do was order them. I had my name on distribution lists for OS/2, DOS, Windows and Linux CDs. They'd come in packages of several CDs in a clear plastic folder. I still have a large box full of various CDs from back then. It was fun working there. In addition to my own ThinkPad 760E, I usually had 5 or 6 other models in my cabinet for testing with and about a dozen or so hard drives. Back then, swapping ThinkPad hard drives was very easy. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
