Isn't this what it sells for new?

Hmm. What a deal.

I got the Infomagic 6 CD set from United CDROM for $13. They're at
www.unitedcdrom.com.

Aw shucks, you noticed. Sure, that was the original price from
InfoMagic, but after all, inflation has eroded the value of that $25
since last year. Today, your $25 gets you only a *6* CD set! Hmmm, bad
example. Oh well, perhaps he is selling this vintage set for its
"antique" value. ;-)

Considering I paid $16 for mine at the local MicroCenter computer
store...

And I updated to the April 96 6 disc set for *another* $16...

And I *DON'T* do DOS or Sega.

The Debian distribution on the November set was the pre-release
1.0 distribution. The Debian folks did not post their "Do Not Use"
notice until about 5 days after we sent the tapes for mastering.
We (Debian and InfoMagic) posted a note about this mixup. For the
April set we were in direct contact with the Debian group and included
the 0.93 release as they directed us.

We will certainly include their new 1.1 release on our next update.

I already tried, and they ignored my questions. I've since sent my money
to Pacific HiTech. They expect Debian to make it to their August "Mo'
Linux" monthly CD release.

Any idea when that will be? I'm not asking for a release date; just
whether we are talking days, weeks, or months.
