Ok, so after chasing all over town (NYC no less!), I have determined that there are no A/UX-capable dealers here, not even Computer Era, who claims to be "the largest blah blah blah" ... so I found a mail-order house in Vermont (Maya Computer, 800-541-2318) who would sell the CD/ROM version for $630. I have heard list $799, so I snapped it up. Was this a good price? I feel like i've already spent $500 of my own time trying to find the damn thing, so unless you've heard of a guy who will call me and sell it to me for $300, i'm almost not interested in the answer ;-) Is everyone else having an easy time getting A/UX? Now for the other questions: which manual sets are needed? I know this $630 price includes the instalation bundle, and I have heard there are 3 manual sets (programmer, user, and sys admin kinda like bsd?), but which ones are things that are not already on-line? This same mail-order house wanted $575 for what he called a "15 binder set" -- is this all three bundles together? Is this a good price? Anyone have a good dealer who would sell to me through the mail? When I say "which are needed" I am including the fact that I have about 7 years experience running BSD/SunOS/Ultrix/etc. machines and I know my way around. Like, I don't need the troff tutorials, since I have BSD manuals. Any opinions? Thanks! /jordan
