In what has to be the first known episode of this, it appears the God, in
conjuction with UPS, has conspired to delay this issue by nearly a month.
The salient details of this conspiracy are probably best discussed
in alt.conspiracy.linux. Suffice to say, shipping delays, the worst winter
in several years, and an earthquake all combined to force this issue
to be released way beyond its initially schedule date.
Now for the good news. The new Linux Quarterly, Winter '94, begins shipping
this Thursday. Customers who've placed advance orders for this CD
will receive it via 2nd day air at no additional cost. Dealers will
receive their copies shortly, as well. Thanks to the delay, or rather,
in spite of it, we managed to get the PL15 kernel added to the master only
hours before it went into production. Lots of other nice goodies are in
there, too.

We have a supply of older Linux CDROM's which are currently gathering
dust in the corner of our stockroom. These CD's contain Linux .99 PL12
along with SLS, Slackware, MCC and the archives from TSX-11.MIT.EDU.
Although old by most standards, they would still be a quick and dirty way of
trying out Linux, if you haven't already done so. Please note that these
are NOT The Linux Quarterly. Copies of that CDROM are still available
at $29.95. The Spring issue is to be released shortly. An announcement of
this is forthcoming.
We're going to give these discs away, first come, first served, to those
who respond to this posting. You only need pay the shipping and handling
charge of $5.00 and the disc will be sent via UPS. We offer no assurances
on these discs and will NOT provide tech support for them.
To get your copy, send us a letter with your name and address along
with a check or money order for $5 payable to "Morse Telecommunication".
There will be no credit cards accepted for this special offer, nor will
we take orders via phone, fax or email.
Any letters received after the expiration of this offer will be returned
to the sender. This offer is valid ONLY to US residents and will be
withdrawn when supplies are exhausted.
To receive your Linux CDROM, send your check for $5 to:
Morse Telecommunication, Inc.
26 East Park Avenue, Suite 240
Long Beach, NY 11561
