Yeah, buy, I do crashtesting and beta testing on ML since 8.0 and still buy the boxed set from Mandrake just to give the company support. I also need to join the Club but haven't yet cause I keep spending money on the wrong things. : ) Anyway, if no one buys from Mandrakesoft then they go away : ( The Standard box set for 3 CDs and the manual is only $39 US . I realize that in many cases that is a considerable amount of money but for a few out there it is in the budget area. -- Dennis M. linux user #180842
