Hmmm every factory worker must have been asleep the whole day then. The same thing happened to the Precision I just purchased. No paper in the box except the shrikwrapped XP recovery and colorfull 'howto plugin mouse picture'
Id like to try and not buy it. But no major builder will sell you a PC without it. (unless you buy a 'workstation' at 2x the regular price).
Well, Ill have a new Dell soon with an un-used copy of XP Pro sitting on the shelf. Before anyone advises to buy somewhere else. Im in a coporation where we like to standardize on desktops (and you take what comes with the order).
If Im lucky, hopefully they didnt order me a copy of office to go with it... At least Ill contribute to MS having another notch in their sales numbers.
Maybe I need to read a different Heinlein novel. Wasnt that the one were he kept going on about how much he liked waffles? I couldnt bring myself to read the last dozen or so pages...
I am very disgusted toward most peoples response in Adobe asking the beta articles be removed. Lets all forget their efforts to keep the multiplatform releases of their products alive (Mac, Windows and the Future Linux products) Please don't remember their current Linux ports of Acrobat Reader and Framemaker. Forget that they ask a site to remove an article of a product they want to keep under wraps for the time being until shipment (as opposed to M$ vaporwaring a product 4 years before it's released -NT5). For a company that has made an effort to keep the multiplatform alive, the fact that a lot of you have instantly jumped on the 'that's not fair' attitude is absured. Is no company safe from wanting to protect a product until they feel it is ready for release or a proper review? Can a company protect what they feel is innovation in a product before a competitor spews vaporware rumors? -A.D. Shackelford We are all just packets in the Internet of Life - Illad@userfriendly.org

1) Boycott the RIAA - Since they've cranked up their customer attacks, Ive stopped buying their product (6 months and counting).
2) Shop via used cd's if you must. It will help show their loss in the upcomming year (used sales are Not tracked). Ebay/Amazon/Local stores/Whatever.
Vote with your wallets people! Stop being hypocritical and buying their stuff while complaining how they stink!!
And what? Attempt to switch the whole system over to Windows (ala hotmail).
uhhh- aaahhahahahahaha

Bought it back in 2K, definately a good read (and helpfull). Having a chapter on NCurses and screen manipulation was a bonus.
