	A friend of mine ordered Minix 1.2 on (approx.) Sept. 20 from 
	a retail software store locally, on the advice of Prentice-Hall.
	They said he would get faster delivery (4 - 6 weeks instead 
	of 8 - 10).  It's now been 8 weeks and the software retailer 
	said that Prentice-Hall is dragging their feet and may not 
	have even shipped it yet. Nobody seems to know where the 
	software is or any possible delivery time. He also said
	Prentice-Hall is trying to get ST-minix realeased so the
	PC-minix delivery is falling behind.

	I've never heard any complaints on the net about overdue
	delivery times, so I wonder if the retailer isn't jerking
	my friend around.

	Has anyone ordered Minix through a software retailer?

	What kind of delivery times have people had on their 
	orders. (PH or retail)?

	Any help greatly appreciated.
					Thanks,
						Jeff
