[comp.windows.x] Getting R4 at the X Conference

rws@EXPO.LCS.MIT.EDU (Bob Scheifler) (01/05/90)

    If we bring a check for $400 to the X Tech Conference can we get the 
    tapes and manuals then?

It takes the Software Center a while to ramp up for a new release.  I'm told
it's doubtful they'll have packages available for the X Conference, although
I'm told there will be someone on hand to take orders, and I would expect
them to start shipping not long after the X Conference.

Other companies, however, may be making the R4 release available on other
forms of media. (Look for announcements soon.)

It comes in at just under 150MB. Core is 45.8MB.

PS: If you load the mag tape for Core onto a 24-track studio recorder and
play it backwards, you can make out repeated chants of "proprietary window
systems are the work of the Devil".
