Feel free to go in to Dillons et al, and ask them why they don't carry the book you want to buy. Sooner or later they'll notice that "FreeBSD" keeps coming up as a search time on their internal inventory system, and that'll assist the process we're going through. </> N -- Internet connection, $19.95 a month.
