[comp.os.minix] What happened to Prentice Hall??

dfs@doe.carleton.ca (David F. Skoll) (02/16/91)

Quite a while ago, I ordered the Minix demo disk from Prentice-Hall using
the books@prenhall.com mail address.  I got a message back on December 18,
1990, telling me that my order was being processed.

I still don't have the disk, and have sent several messages to Prentice-Hall
asking what happened.  Only one of my messages was answered (about 2 weeks ago)
and I haven't heard anything since then.

I was really looking forward to playing with the demo disk and ordering Minix,
as it seems like a great product.  However, my experience with Prentice-Hall
has really left a bad feeling, and I'm not so sure I want to deal with them
anymore.

Does anyone know where I can buy Minix without dealing with PH?  Is it
available in any computer stores?  Any private people selling their copy?
