. Reporting from the Dallas Metromess: 23 April 2002 12:57 US CDT CompUSAs have restocked their shelves with lots of nice, shiny Suse 7.3's! I guess the release of 8 got them off their butts. It is clear CUSA is not a source for 8 in the South for the time being, where we don' know how to use compleycated stuff like *nix... Other sources indicate that CUSA has NO, repeat NO specimins of Suse8 on Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, nor New Mexico, further corroborating this theory. That is all.

This is kind of disturbing so I looked into it. Compusa ordered several thousand copies and the last shipment was made to them on Monday so it should show up therei soon. Likewise, shipments have already been sent to BestBuy, Fry's, Microcenter, selected Borders stores, and Futureshop (for our Canadian friends). Yes, the Candaians will finally get a release the same time as the rest of North America. Feedback on Futureshop would be great since it's a new retail channel for us. -- -ckm
Glad to hear it! I'm sitting here waiting for Camelot.ca to get there shipment, but if it's already at FutureShop, then I'm all over it. I'll let ya know Chris. Cheers

I received word today that 8.0 is expected at my reseller next week. An improvement on 7.3 I suppose. Anders
. Reporting from the Dallas Metromess: 23 April 2002 19:16 US CDT Received a tip that 8 had been spotted at Fry's. I put the area under surveillance until I could get there. I bought a specimen covertly and had the rest purchased and donated to homeless people. We should be able to mop these up before the unwashed masses can get ahold of them. That is all.
