What ironic and embarrassing timing --- my Tuxcds.com order arrived today! All indications are that it really *was* mailed on 12/18, and has simply taken a (leisurely) first-class time getting to me. So the real culprit seems to have been the USPS. The package is not damaged in any way, all the CDs look to be in good shape (I'll give them all a spin shortly to be sure). Evidently, this little parcel has simply been gathering dust on a shelf or in a bin while government employees labored furtively around it.
Although it would have been nice to have my emails answered (my only remaining complaint), in this instance (at least) tuxcds was not at fault in any way. After reading some of the other posts in this list archive, I was getting a little worried. But I'll give them the best vindication any customer can --- I'll order my next Debian dist from them, although I think I'll pick Priority Mail next time. :-) An unexpected and pleasant side effect of this (non) problem was the number of sympathetic emails I got from *other* Debian CD vendors, offering to help in various ways if I couldn't get this matter resolved. Thanks, folks, for renewing my faith in human, Debian, and Linuxian nature! My only regret is that I didn't *really* get to test out my theory of indirect email access via this list to a Tuxcds human! Old assembler hack that I am, it had a certain 'BAL,R15 *TUXCDS' appeal. :-) -- ====================================================================== Vance W.
