I posted a message yesterday saying that I got System 7, but a lot of
people are having a hard time finding it as did I; so I decided to write
a message explaining how much of a pain in the butt it was to get this.

First off, I had a beta and final candidate versionfor three months. Big
deal. I thought it would be neat when actually it was a waste without
the docs and Think C 4.0.5 update & .h files. I could have easily gotten
it from ftp.apple.com, but everyone knows how much of a pain that's
been. So I decided to splurge and get it froma dealer. HA! My local
dealer said Monday that it would be in Wednesday; Wednesday that it
would be in Monday.....
	I live in North jersey and work in North/Central Jersey so Iwent
through several phone books looking for "Authorized Dealers". What a
joke! The ADs said any one of the following:

	Never heard of it (I'm not kidding)
	I don't know if we have it...I'll call you back.
	It's not out yet
	It's not coming out until June
	We SHOULD be getting it next week.

	I finally tracked down a store in Newark that had it. For those
that want to buy it: call as many places as you can. Someone's bound to
know what's going on but be patient, it's tough for some people to talk
with their heads up their butts. I think Authorized Dealers should know
what's going on inthe world.
