It's limited to *institutional* USENIX members. 2. The deadline for order estimates has been extended a week to 3/21. 3. It arrived 4 days before it was posted.... And folks, let's have a round of applause for Sam Leffler and Tom Ferrin for doing all that good and incredibly tedious work. And to USENIX for sponsoring it (would YOU like to check all those licenses?). Wow! manuals I can hold in one hand again! (Damn shame they won't sell the volumes separately though... oh well.) Everyone lean on your users to buy LOTS to get the price down-- it should be quite sensitive to volume. What we're doing here at Utah is taking orders from our own users, with only those signing up and making a deposit guaranteed to get one. With a little propaganda, such as "this may be your LAST chance, future ones may cost more due to limited local press run, etc," people are committing and our own risk is shrinking. Jay Lepreau
