ah, grasshopper, you must be patient with these salespeople, as they
are mere mortals.  i pointed to the couple of boxed sets of rh 7.1 on
the shelf, and suggested that they *very likely* have the newer
version 7.2 in the back somewhere.

sure enough, a minute later, here he comes, placing a fresh box of
7.2 in my sweaty little palms.  didn't even give it the chance to get
comtaminated sitting on the shelf next to the boxes of windows me.
and even though i'm not thrilled at the increase in price to $59 of
the basic set, i'll bite my tongue and support the cause.

rday

p.s   it's oct 25!  oh, frabjous day, windows xp is officially out.
yawn.
