Johnston) Subject: Linux Quarterly CDROM, Winter '94 (PL15) Organization: Morse Telecommunications - Email to: info@Morse.Net for details Date: Wed, 16 Feb 1994 14:52:22 GMT Message-ID: <1994Feb16.145222.1748@ditdah.Morse.Net> Lines: 152 In what has to be the first known episode of this, it appears the God, in conjuction with UPS, has conspired to delay this issue by nearly a month. The salient details of this conspiracy are probably best discussed in alt.conspiracy.linux. Suffice to say, shipping delays, the worst winter in several years, and an earthquake all combined to force this issue to be released way beyond its initially schedule date. Now for the good news. The new Linux Quarterly, Winter '94, begins shipping this Thursday. Customers who've placed advance orders for this CD will receive it via 2nd day air at no additional cost. Dealers will receive their copies shortly, as well. Thanks to the delay, or rather, in spite of it, we managed to get the PL15 kernel added to the master only hours before it went into production. Lots of other nice goodies are in there, too. Michael R.
