Terry:
AFAIK, their policy is that you're more than welcome to buy another
boxed set. If you don't need the Macmillan add-ons, then you can go
either the download or Cheapbytes route. My take is that the boxed sets
are a pretty good value -- no long downloads via 56k modem, no CD
burning, a printed manual or two, and I get another picture of Tux in
the bargain; others, of course, prefer to go some other way for their
own reasons. Remember, too, that the full Macmillan sets are less
expensive than Microsoft's upgrades, and include a whole lot more than
an operating system, browser, and some utilities. The only thing that
Mandrake doesn't include is the BSOD.
Regards,
Carroll
