I can tell you too.. So can a friend of mine.. I received a 3.5" set of Minix
in place of 5.25. A similar thing happened to my friend. I had to send back
the wrong set by postage paid business reply label... Of course, they do not
know what they have in the warehouse, 'CAUSE they do not know what they have
shipped out. PH should get some people who can `READ' to work in their
warehouse. Besides, they tell you that it will take five business days for
the book to be delivered by `overnight delivery', the reality is it takes
them 4 business days to put it in the mail, and one day for Airbourne Express
to deliver.
