Am I the only one made just a little suspicious by this? Far from it! I wouldn't fork over $20 to see the new disk, let alone $100. Hopefully some brave soul will be willing to put up the money to see what's actually on the disk, and give us all a detailed techical report. (We certainly will never get any decent information from Mr. Monroy on this subject.) I doubt that people will be queueing up to waste $100 on a product with a dubious past at best, and an even more questionable future. At least, not until the 386BSD folk are willing to come up with the straight dope. If nobody's ordered the disk yet, perhaps we could all chip in one or two bucks each, to make a group purchase of one disk, just to get some of these questions answered... -- ____ Children of a future age ____ \ / Reading this indignant page \ / \/ Know that in a former time \/ Michael Bryan Love, sweet love, was thought a crime michael@resonex.com
