Thinking about buying UNIX for home, be careful w/ Dell

After Madison's posting yesterday, I checked our info server, affectionately
known as: info at dell.dell.com, and discovered that if one is to send email
to it, ommitted was *any* reference as to what type of media our O/S
comes on. As of last night, it now properly reflects that we release on
150Mb tapes, w/ 2 boot/system floppies.

Apologies to anyone this may have confused; it was *not* intended to
cause undue hardship to anyone who is a current, or potentially future
customer.

I also asked Madison to give me details about his order, sales rep, etc.
so that we can clarify in their minds this problem; thus it would
affect no one else in the future.


I'll work up a "minimum configuration", and add it to our info server...
