Hmm, somebody beat me to it, but I've got more in my post that
he did in his.  Nyah nyah :)

But first for all you Canadians, "In Canada, call 1-800-465-1234"
to order OS/2 2.0.

Page 34-35 of the April 20 issue of Time magazine.

Typical IBM layout, 2/3 color photo, 1/3 white with black print.
The photo is full color, not the dithered pastels used in their
Helpware ads.  It shows a landscape of computers, all showing MS
Windows with the same chart on the screen, in a grassy field
with the sun rising over mountains in the background.  (well, I
supposed it could be setting but I'm pretty sure the intent is
to have it rising :)  Large "OS/2" in white along the bottom.
Nice and colorful.  While it doesn't give much info about OS/2
itself, it looks like a teaser for more informative ads to come
in the future.  (no more ads in this issue :( )

Starting today,
everything your
computer has ever done,
it will do better.

[smaller normal type]
        You've created documents, crunched numbers, even
conquered alien invaders.  Still, your software hasn't really
been able to make the most of your hardware.  But now
it can.
        Introducing OS/2 2.0.  It's a new way to take your
computer programs beyond the limitations of the past -- it
lets you do more with them than you ever could with
DOS or DOS with Windows. [I like that last snub :) ]
        It's also a way to run more than one program at a time.        
Print a document and calculate a spreadsheet while you
open files, for example.  You can even "cut and paste"
between *any* programs -- drop text from WordPerfect 5.1
into a Lotus 1-2-3 for Windows spreadsheet -- the pos-
sibilities are endless.
        About the only thing better than how much more OS/2
let's you do, is how easily it lets you do it all.  Friendly icons
fill the screen -- even installation is graphically guided.  And
OS/2 comes with HelpWare:  a range of services and
support, including a toll-free number.  But maybe the best
part is that instead of buying DOS, Windows and Adobe
Type Manager, you get them all with OS/2.
        With OS/2, your software can catch up with your
hardware.  And you can do the only thing you haven't been
able to do with your computer.  Make the      +------------+
most of it.  For an IBM authorized dealer     | picture of |

introductory prices of $49 for Windows        |  box goes  |
