Hello --
Take a gander at page 81 of the new _Turbo_Technix_ magazine.
(I should point out that this magazine is put out by Borland Intl.
for their customers. If you've registered any Borland product,
you should have gotten a copy by now.) Anyway, this page's
illustration shows a stylized binary tree, with what appears to be
a bibliography of recent MS-DOS type magazine articles. Take a good look
at some of the titles of the articles. Take an especially good look
at the once with those famous (now) initials "OS/2". For all of you
who are too lazy, or don't have this magazine, I'll list the titles
there.
"OS/2 at Minus One"
"The OS/2 Swindle"
"Will OS/2 Ever Happen"
"Curing OS/2 Fever"
"OS/2, Where Are You?"
"Who Cares About OS/2?"
These titles are mixed in with other, more innocent sounding titles.
Now, you don't think that Borland is trying to tell us something,
do you? Naaaaah.
Chris

i'm wondering how many issues they'll send us before we're cut off! :-)
(i *know* someone is going to ask this: for those interested, _Turbo
Technix, The Borland Language Journal_, is published bimonthly; a one
year subscription (6 issues) is $49.95 to: _Turbo Technix_, Borland
International, Inc., 4585 Scotts Valley Drive, Scotts Valley, CA,
95066.)

I wonder, though, if Borland will extend subscriptions if we buy more than one language product (probably not, I guess). It also appears that Borland considers Quattro (their new spreadsheet) and Reflex "language products" (from what I see in the magazine). BTW: if you want a good laugh, take a look at the back cover of Technix. One of the books advertised by McGraw-Hill there is "Using Sprint: The Professional Word Processor." Great, a book for non-existent (as far as I can tell) product!...todd -- Todd Ogasawara, U. of Hawaii Faculty Development Program UUCP: {ihnp4,uunet,ucbvax,dcdwest}!sdcsvax!nosc!uhccux!todd ARPA: uhccux!todd@nosc.MIL BITNET: todd@uhccux INTERNET: todd@uhccux.UHCC.HAWAII.EDU
