If anyone gets bad disks from P-H, please call them and complain
loudly.  That big companies are bureaucratic is not unusual.  The
demand for MINIX has consistently exceeded the supply, so they are
often behind.  But if the company actually doing disk manufacturing is
doing a lousy job of quality control, P-H will do something about it,
provided people tell them about it.
