Dear SGI,
Thank you SO much for the SASE you sent along with the CD ROM
survey. Unfortunately, it's not very usable from Canada. My daughter
will enjoy putting the stamp in her collection. I'm sure the Europeans
really enjoyed their stamps too.

What customer subset was this sent to? We have ~ 20 SGI workstations, all under full maintanence (mixture of mostly PIs and a couple of power series) and I am wondering what is meanty to happen with the new software distribution via CD-ROM. Do I get a drive per machine? Mike Gigante, ACGC Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology

Does anyone know what the schedule is for distributing these? We got the promo stuff months ago (with those wonderful blank CD's - duh, what a great line, "this CD is blank, however it holds great potential") but we haven't heard anything from SGI about actually getting the drive. Is there anything we need to do? - David Hinds dhinds@cb-iris.stanford.edu

To the best of my knowledge, all beta sites are chosen, so don't ask if you if you can be part of the beta test. :) Other customers who order them (presumably as part of the promotional program referred to in the referenced message) should be getting them with the 4.0 release at about the same time as those who are getting 4.0 on QIC tape. 4.0 release date isn't public knowledge yet, but it IS some months away, at least. -- Dave Olson Life would be so much easier if we could just look at the source code.
