* Jonathan de Boyne Pollard got everyone's attention by mumbling this to All:

 JdBP> Watcom C++ 10.0 :

 JdBP> CON :  No SOM.

Incorrect.  The release version supports SOM, and includes the SOM Toolkit...
unless, of course, all those SOM files and directories on the CD-ROM were
lying to me. :-)  (FWIW, it was the LA version that didn't include SOM.)

 JdBP> Printed manuals are extra and almost double the price of the
 JdBP> product. 

You neglected to mention that all documentation is provided electronically.
It's no substitue for printed docs, IMHO, but it *is* there.
