I ordered minix 1.3 (ISBN 0-13-583303-5) from my local college
bookstore, about 3 weeks ago.  They just called me and said P-H informed
them that it would be out of stock indefinitely!

I called P-H at 1-800-225-7162, and they told me that they could not
give me a date when 1.3 would be back in stock.  When asked why they
couldn't provide a date, they couldn't provide an answer.

In short, I'm pissed off.  Now it seems that I have to wait for another
6-12 months until 1.5.? is available, unless I can find somebody locally
to copy it from.

If there is some kind of voting as to whether another distribution
source can be found, I am all in favour of dumping P-H.  Their customer
(dis-)service is terrible!  :-(
