I've been back in the US, where I received my boxed-set of Win4Lin/4.0
-- yes, I'm also due a free upgrade for being a Win4Lin/1.0 buyer, but I
decided to give my financial support to Trelos, again.

Well, I just returned to Israel late this afternoon, and opened the
boxed-set.  What a surprise!  My $90 (US) doesn't even buy me an effing
jewel case for the CD.  But the even bigger surprise was seeing an
alphanumeric "key" printed across the label which holds the cheesy CD
envelope closed.  Imagine if I'd just ripped it open -- I'd've never
been able to read that all-important ID.

As it was, it took me seven attempts to enter the ID during the
installation process, because some dim-bulb decided to use lowercase
letters, and I couldn't decipher the second-to-last character as being
an effing "f".

Even Micro$oft knows that you NEVER EVER use lowercase letters in an ID
key.  Never.  Only uppercase letters.

I bought, from RedHat, a boxed-version of RedHat/5.2 two days before
they announced 6.0 (and RedHat refused to give me a free upgrade); I
bought a boxed-version of RedHat/6.1 from them two weeks before they
announced 6.2 (again, no free upgrade).  Both versions, together, cost
less than the boxed-version of Win4Lin/3.0.

Caveat emptor.
