[comp.os.os2.misc] Repost of Educational prices for OS/2 1.3

michelbi@oregon.uoregon.edu (05/11/91)

I am reposting this message because many faculty/students still have
questions concerning the educational price of OS/2 1.3:

After a recent phone call to IBM, here are the prices and part
number to get the EDUCATIONAL discount on OS/2 version 1.3
 
Part No:	84F7588

No Upgrade:	$105
With Upgrade:	 $69.30

The person I talked to was not sure whether MS-DOS packages would qualify
for the DOS upgrade price, but thought that they should since IBM is most
interested in spreading OS/2.

It appears that the hardest thing to obtain is the form necessary to upgrade
from DOS to OS/2 instead of buying a new one.  I recently visited Computerland,
and ordered my own copy.  At the time, I was told it would take about 5-6 days
for the software to come.  Now that I see how hard it is for some people to 
get the program, I wonder if my salesperson knew what she was taking about?
