[-- Attachment #1 --] To all of you that have offered assistance, thank you very much. It was suggested that I support FreeBSD in the way of buying a copy. I thought I would oblige. I found the mall home page, but wanted to pick up a copy today. I found a page saying I could pick up a copy at CompUSA or Fry's. I visited two Fry's stores today, couldn't find it on the shelf, and asked 5 different people. They told me after looking in their computers, "Product has been discontinued". (I took this to mean they have discontinued the product.) I then visited two CompUSA stores, same story, "product discontinued". I then visited 2 Borders Book stores.... nothing. And a Barnes & Nobel, again nothing. This is a real bummer as I have an application I wanted to get running by the weekend. I'm not looking for comments, I'm just letting you know my experience. I have not given up, just been delayed. I do have one question, is there a Users Group in the SF Bay Area/East Bay? Thanks again for everyone's support.
