Abstract

“In your October 1988 issue (Vol.5, No.9) you advise people making hardware decisions to purchase existing PC architecture rather than switching to the new OS/2 Micro‐Channel architecture. You correctly point out that the new hardware and software will be more expensive and that there is currently little software to take advantage of the new architecture. In your recommendation you state the following: ‘The proper time to switch, if ever, is when there is a super hardware package you just have to have which runs only on the new machines. If you want to switch just for the sake of it, it makes more sense to try a Macintosh than a PS/2.’
