Regarding the new book on 4.3BSD internals, I could care less about the Library of Congress jive in the beginning -- I just want to buy the damn book. But does anybody know of a quick and dirty mail order outfit from whom I could order the book with a credit card, and be reasonably assured that it will be sent in the next day or two? BTW, Uni-Ops doesn't have it yet, and nobody answers the phone at Jim Joyce's Unix Bookstore... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Anderson ...!{ulowell,harvard,necntc}!necis!dla NEC Information Systems 1300 Massachusetts Avenue Boxborough, Massachusetts 01719 508-635-6318 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Try "Computer Literacy" in San Jose, CA. Their phone number is: (408) 435-1118. They take MC/Visa (and who knows what all else), and they'll ship either by US Mail, UPS Blue Label (2nd Day Air), or UPS Red Label (Next Day Air). I ordered mine from them, along with a few other books, and I haven't had any problems yet. Their a fairly large (for bookstores) company, so you don't have to worry (too much) about whether you'll ever get what you order. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Steve DeJarnett | Smart Mailers -> steve@polyslo.CalPoly.EDU | | Computer Systems Lab | Dumb Mailers -> ..!ucbvax!voder!polyslo!steve | | Cal Poly State Univ. |------------------------------------------------| | San Luis Obispo, CA 93407 | BITNET = Because Idiots Type NETwork | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
