here here ... you can put me on the list aws well. just as an aside i've
forwarded my contact details to Hanns, maybe we can get something going.

by the way, thier is a company here in australia that does mail order cds and
they have the walnut creek stuff, i just picked up the 2.0.5 release and they
told me that they will have the 2.1 release soon. i found them to be cheerful
and curtious and thier prices were good .. if jordan has no objection i will
post full contact details phone and internet .. they take email orders as well.

i have no affiliations just a satisfied customer, as well seeing freebsd spread
like the plague.

sorry jordan i wanted to buy direct from walnut creek, but really can't afford
walnut creeks prices epecially from here in australia with the added bankdraft
fees .. its almost cheaper to fly thier and bring it back first class .. grin.

looks like i'll have to forgo the warm fuzzies in the face of the harsh
realities of my situation.

if thier is enough interest in sydney nsw maybe we could start one here as
well.
