Sure. I work in Mandaluyong (near Robinson's Pioneer) so we can either meet up or I can have it delivered to you via courier (at your own cost). I live in Binangonan so the earliest I can give/ship this would be on Tuesday. Note that I only have the 700MB CD installer (I also have the 386 version for my netbook). The same goes for any other takers , but let me know 1 day in advance as I would only be able to burn the copy when I get home at night. ciao! > On 11/1/09, Anuerin Diaz <[email protected]> wrote: >> yes but on Karmic's defense I was not caught unaware.
