Dear Jason:
Welcome to America!
Turn over your FreeBSD cdrom box and notice the phrase: ``This disc
comes with a full money-back guarantee.''
I suggest you send your CDROM back to Walnut Creek, take the refund,
and purchase the disk from the same place that your friend did. You
can even take your friend out to dinner at McDonald's with the
difference, and have some change left over.
Then I suggest you write another letter to Walnut Creek, thanking them
for the valuable lesson in economics you learned. It will be quite
useful to you when you grow up.
