He said it was a standard item, catagory A01. Which means (the A part) each store is supposed to stock it and (the 01 part) the minimum quantity is one. Price $49.95. I asked if they had one. Nope, sold out. Did any of the stores here in Phoenix have one. More nope. How about nation wide? About 20 stores showed inventory. The item went into the computer in June. He said every store should have had at least one at that time. I can only guess (and hope) that they all sold out like hotcakes, and someone in purchasing will notice and up the mininum stock count. In the meantime I asked them to order me one (which meant, order two). I've already got the toolkit, and I subscribe to the release, so this was to update my copy of the book, and to throw some money at the project, and to encourage CompUSA in carrying FreeBSD products. I think getting FreeBSD into distribution is the next big step in advicocy. -crl -- Chad R.
