pre-orders

2003-03-26 Thread Adrian Rawlings
I noticed that 9.1 pre-orders are available now... Let me guess, you have to buy a completely different version for ppc and i586? Of which the ppc version is not available for pre-order yet. Yeah..., if someone could clear this up for me, that would be great.
