yeah.. I bought a cd-rom that had a $20 rebate that was handled by tcarebates.com.
didn't get any letter or anything from them, I called and they said I didn't fill out the FAX #. I told the lady, "That's because I don't have a fax #" So she said she put the rebate through. I checked their website.. said it was mailed out on Jan 21st.. haven't received it yet.
Don't forget that the net isn't limited to the USA or Great Britain. Believe it or not, for some/. readers, English isn't their first language. *SHOCK*GASP*
The whole crux of the matter is that in slackware world a release isn't final until it's out of slackware-current and in its own directory, like slackware-7.1. That's the way it's been...
Slackware-current is an ongoing staging area for the next release.
As README72.TXT is in slackware-current.. it's just another file in the staging area.
Plus.. really, do you think www.slackware.com wouldn't put up some sort of announcement if they had a new release?

Stability...
.. designed with the twin goals of ease of use and stability as top priorities."
.. stability is.

Quoted from the slackware.com site:
"Slackware [is]
Bleeding edge isn't top priority
