Really?  The Walnut Creek CD-ROM is $34 at the little CD-ROM store near the
Computer Literacy that is near a Togos near Highway 101 in Silicon Valley.
And a few miles away, at NCA, it was around $25.  Also, there's an InfoMagic
CD that contains *both* FreeBSD and NetBSD, also for $20-$35 dollars.
Are you sure you have the faintest idea what you are talking about?
