=========================================
 IACT's Freedom of Choice Project Update
=========================================

To: OS/2 Users, ISDs, ISVs, Consultants, Resellers etc.


Join us in IACT's Freedom of Choice Petition, to stop the 
exclusive pre-installation [bundling or tying] of a single 
company's software on the computers sold, bought and used 
across the world. To bring real choice and innovation to 
the PC market, we should be able to buy and sell new 
computer systems compatible with OS/2 and a wide range of 
software programs, in any combination.

Help us send that direct message to the PC companies, by 
signing and supporting IACT's Freedom of Choice Petition! 
We're already getting great support from the Internet 
community and from users, programmers and resellers of OS/2 
as well as Linux, Unix, DOS, BeOS, BSD et al, and yes, 
Windows, too. To add your name to all of theirs, just use 
either our on-line form or regular e-mail. Details are 
at...

Plus, you've got the option of visiting our IACT Quarterly 
Newsletter section, where we just posted springtime Issue 
#5, covering subjects from Comdex to anti-monopoly 
strategies. Among the six articles is a persuasive 
commentary by Linux user and IACT member James Capone, who 
tells why he started the original Freedom of Choice 
Consumer Poll.

A newsletter summary plus links are on our Index page 
[http://pages.cthome.net/iact/] as usual, or skip directly 
to the Issue #5 page 
[http://pages.cthome.net/iact/iq-may5.html].

While you're enjoying all the articles, be sure to send in 
your signature for IACT's Freedom of Choice Petition, if 
you haven't done so already. We still haven't heard yet 
from many of you, and we need your support. Send in your 
signature message for the Petition, before end of the 
deadline day of Saturday, June 5th, 1999!
