Since I have seen quite a bit of traffic concerning where to get DOS 5.0 at the best price I thought that I'd post this. There was an ad in the Wall Street Journal from Egghead Software offering Microsoft MS-DOS 5 Upgrades for $39.99. UPS ground is $5.00. What you need to do is call 1-800-EGGHEAD (1-800-344-4323) to order this. They will only accept VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express at this number. You will be asked to answer about 5 questions about the computer you are going to upgrade to DOS 5. Be prepared to get a busy signal. I just put the old phone on redial and got in in about 10 minutes. I was on hold for about another 5-10 minutes (this was at 8:45 pm on a Friday night). Egghead also had bundles for sale. MS-DOS 5 upgrade and a serial or PS/2 Logitech mouse $89.99. MS-DOS 5 upgrade, Windows 3, and a serial or PS/2 Logitech mouse 159.99. Egghead also has the same deal for the true blue IBM DOS 5 Upgrade kit, but from what I've heard about this product (only upgrades true blue machines running true blue DOS) I can't figure out why anyone would choose it over the Microsoft product. *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Name: Steve Miller | The Ohio State University Internet: STEVE-MILLER+@OSU.EDU | Academic Computing Services CompuServe: 76702,1522 | Rm. 406 Baker Systems Phone: 614-292-4843 | 1971 Neil Avenue FAX: 614-292-7081 | Columbus, Ohio 43210-1210
