A friend of mine ordered Minix 1.2 on (approx.) Sept. 20 from a retail software store locally, on the advice of Prentice-Hall. They said he would get faster delivery (4 - 6 weeks instead of 8 - 10). It's now been 8 weeks and the software retailer said that Prentice-Hall is dragging their feet and may not have even shipped it yet. Nobody seems to know where the software is or any possible delivery time. He also said Prentice-Hall is trying to get ST-minix realeased so the PC-minix delivery is falling behind. I've never heard any complaints on the net about overdue delivery times, so I wonder if the retailer isn't jerking my friend around. Has anyone ordered Minix through a software retailer? What kind of delivery times have people had on their orders. (PH or retail)? Any help greatly appreciated.

Just a note about the 4-6 week delivery time. I got mine from P-H about 6 DAYS after ordering it. They quoted me the same time frame though. Maybe I just got lucky. -- Phil Paone paone@topaz.rutgers.edu !rutgers.edu!topaz.edu!ppaone

I just got off the phone with the P-H people.
They quoted me a delivery time of 2 1/2 weeks,
^ an official
but that I could probably expect it sooner.
I guess I'll see.
