I previously posted to the doc list that Barnes and Noble and Bookstop have it in their catalog but none on the shelf. If you are going to buy this, *buy it from any of these three*!! And, do as I have, pester other retailers. Borders has 4 on order. I plan to get mine there. Ordering from WC is fine, but we must support the retail effort. I have also called my hardware vendor and volunteered to help get anyone interested in Unix started. They do get inquiries and do make sales but offer no support. They seemed very pleased for the offer and will gladly make referrals. Its a start.
