Re: 3.7CDs arrived today...
heh, i got my cd's today too. which is awsome. also i finally got something special. i fully understand this new approach, to give the people who actually bought cd's a better time, having it before everyone else. only problem is that with the current state of the ports tree, there are no openbsd stable packages, and the current packages dont work. ok, this isn't a life and death situation, i can compile from ports, and its only two weeks until the packages should be up. but i really enjoy using packages, it would be nice if the packages were avaiable for the release at the same time that the cd's started shipping. but the actually install sets not until whenever the release date is. wonderful job, keep up the excellent work. sbr.

heh, i got my cd's today too. which is awsome. also i finally got something special. I received my CDs yesterday too. Excellent :). Installed two machines, upgraded one, rock and roll. However, the jewel case is screwed up (2 of three mounts are disintigrated), just like every single time I've ever ordered (since 2.7). I wonder if it's possible to use a higher quality triple jewel case? Oh well... - Justin

And, just like with every other release, some people complain of smashed jewel cases and want Theo to start sending out better ones. Of course, this misses the fact that this has been a problem with *all* jewel cases since time immemorial. I've got a stack of a dozen music CDs in jewel cases on my desk right now. Some of them are mine; some mine that I've lent out; some that I'm borrowing. At least a third have broken jewel cases. Maybe more. If you look in your music collection, you'll almost certainly discover the same thing. But do you complain to the record companies about their jewel cases? If you *really* care about the state of your jewel case when it arrives, there *is* an official option to ship the CDs wrapped in lots of soft cloth padding. It costs an extra $20, but the bonus is that the cloth comes pre-printed with OpenBSD artwork and is in a shape suitable for covering your torso.

Thus spake Ben Goren ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [06/05/05 11:42]: : But do you complain to the record companies about their jewel cases? For the record, I've never, ever received a broken jewel case for a music CD that's been shipped in the mail (dozens of CDs). But from OpenBSD, it's been broken both times. However, I don't really give a rat's ass. It's broken. Whoop-de-doo. Do the CDs still work? Yep. So there's no reason to complain. Just setting the facts straight.
Re: 3.7CDs arrived today...
Got mine too today in Waterloo. Wrapped up in a nice puffy shirt! jewel cases in perfectly good condition, not like last time.
