[lots of context cut] I haven't spent any money, and I'm not going to. I am collecting orders. Let me see about the validity of this, and if it's solid, then it's all to the good. I hope that the folks at README.DOC haven't pre-ordered anything (I'm pretty sure they haven't) so nothing lost at all. I don't mind saving money. I'm not going to do anything about ordering until next Tuesday (I am giving one week's time for folks to read mail, tho heaven knows anyone who doesn't read their FreeBSD mail more regularly must have a MONSTER mail disk). I don't think anyone is risking anything here. I wouldn't do it if it were. ========================================================================== Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu, I run FreeBSD-current on n3lxx + Journey2 Three Accounts for the Super-users in the sky, Seven for the Operators in their halls of fame, Nine for Ordinary Users doomed to crie, One for the Illegal Cracker with his evil game In the Domains of Internet where the data lie.
