However, It will take Walnut Creek Cdrom probably 3 to 4 weeks to get the CDs manufactured after the release is issued. Then If you are a subscriber you will be last in the queue to get the CDROM. I have been told by the folks at Walnut Creek that when they get product if someone calls in that their CDROM will be shipped the same day and that subscribers to the product have to wait for one mass pressing of the cdrom which costs them approximately $0.67 and they sell for $39 regular and $25 for subscription. Their attitude towards those of of us who have been supporting them through subscription is convoluted. While I'm on a roll, I can't quite figure out where the dividing line between FreeBSD.org and Walnut Creek Cdrom is. Many of the "officials" of FreeBSD.org are employyees of Walnut Creek Cdrom. Since there will be those who take the opposing point of view just to take the opposing point of view, I welcome their comments. These comments should make humorous bedtime reading which will ultimately help me fall asleep. Ted Knight
