Watch http://www.pmview.com/ for details ********************************************************************* Source: (Timur_Tabi@Dell.com) Moderator: Christopher B. Wright (wrightc@dtcweb.com) ********************************************************************** Every Monday, I'll be reporting on OS/2-related items for sale on http://www.ebay.com and the comp.os.os2.marketplace newsgroup. Even if you're not thinking about buying anything OS/2 related, you might find something that catches your interest. On eBay, there are several copies of OS/2 2.x, Warp 3, Warp 4, and Lotus applications available for sale, as well as several OS/2 books, mostly for OS/2 2.x or Warp 3. Recently, I've seen a lot of people try to sell user manuals and "license packs" for various older versions of OS/2. Starting this week, I won't be reporting on auctions for Drive Image or Borland C++ books, since these items seem to be always for auction. There's not much this week: Comm Manager/2, IBM and McAfee anti-virus, DB2/2 1.0, Lantastic, and Colorworks 1.0. There's a package deal of several versions of OS/2, FaxWorks Pro, DeScribe Voyager, GalCiv 2, SmartSuite, and some CD-ROM's. Someone is also selling an "Orange386 OS/2 Coprocessor 1MB", which is either a 1MB RAM upgrade for some really old computers or it's a co-processor with OS/2 support. Unfortunately, the seller doesn't respond to emails, so if anyone knows what it is, please tell me. Considering the seller has over 6,300 responses and 100+ items for sale at any given time, I suspect that the seller has no idea what it is. Caveat emptor. For collectors we have an OS/2 jacket, just in time for Winter. For programmers, we have: Borland C++ 2.0 for OS/2 (yes, the software, not just the books) and Brief 3.1. On comp.os.os2.marketplace, we have: Borland C++ 2.0 (software?), DUX American dictionary, Links/2, some Lotus software, some Warp 3 CD's. We finally have something worthwhile on Yahoo. Last week we had some version of FaxWorks, and this week we have a book on PM programming. Those of you looking to sell your OS/2 related stuff, I strongly recommend you put it on eBay and post an announcement on comp.os.os2.marketplace. If you include the word "OS/2" in the title of your description, I'll see it and include it in the next report. If you're looking for OS/2 items on eBay, search on the phrase ("OS/2",OS2), including the parentheses. ------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ -------------------------------------------------------
