Hi,
I've been buying every CD release over the last couple of years. I
purchased 4.6 from openbsdeurope.com and it was just as comfortable as
with Wim the years before.
However I haven't purchased 4.7 yet because the ordering involves too
much hassle.
openbsdeurope.com now requires you to create an account in order to
place an order, that's really annoying. On top of that the regex they
use to verify your e-mail address is flawed.
We see it another way. When we used PayPal exclusively people purchased
and _then_ emailed us asking for an address change because they hadn't
bothered to update their PayPal information. 'On top of that' we had
people _not_ wanting to use PayPal but other various methods, bank
transfer, terminal etc etc...
Please tell us how to win?
If you had emailed us we would have just taken your order via email and
allowed a PayPal payment... like many others have. I will make this
very, very clear from the home page.
I read http://www.openbsd.org/orders.html in order to find shops in
France (where I live) that carry the OpenBSD CD sets.
There are 2 listed:
- http://www.eyrolles.com/
I couldn't find OpenBSD in their online shop.
- http://www.lmet.fr/
They sell the CDs for 57 EUR compared to 38 EUR for openbsdeurope.com.
Indeed. If you do the maths you'll see what this means to us.
They also want you to create an account.
I could order from the Computer Shop of Calgary but that would involve
big shipping costs.
Ordering the CD sets just isn't as much fun anymore as it used to be.
Best regards,
Jona
