Well, it's not actually released yet. Usually we get discs to the
subscribers about 2 weeks after the net release (unlike other distros we
don't sit on it for a month to try to force people to buy it).
We certainly appreciate the people who support us through subscriptions,
and a lot of them tell me that they download it anyway but are buying the
sub to help us out. Slackware users can be some really cool people.
Take care,
Pat
