No, Yes, no yes? no... yes? >If you don't feel like doing the upgrade, ask a friendly neighbour, or >buy ST 1.5 straight from PH, as soon as it becomes available >(expected late summer). ST 1.5 comes with a 750-800 page book. Ok, I give up. I will move on to another line of questioning: Does anyone know of PH is planing on marketing an ``upgrade'' package... where you simply buy Minix 1.5.... but if you already have 1.1 r 1.3 you could get 1.5 for a discount? What is really getting me here, which I assume is quite typical, is that I bought a piece of software without really ``shopping around'' and a new release is approaching. This is just my humble bad shopper opinion, but depending on what is in the 750-800 page book, purchasing Minix 1.5 might be a good idea anyway.
