Mike, there are a set of web pages where you can become a member of their Java developer's group, fill-out a survey, and place an order for Solaris. They say to expect a 4-6 week wait for delivery. Everything works until you get to the order form. You press a button and are supposed to get an order form. Only you get nothing. I've attempted to do this off and on for two days now. It's very annoying, because you have to fill-out the &^%#! survey all over again each time. BTW, the rest of it worked well enough that I am now getting annoying e-mail with Java programming tips.

It is about 11pm PST 8/12. I just got in to the Sun promotional site. You might want to try it over the weekend or at night. Apparently, the site has been really popular. The disk costs about $10. Shipping is around 8.50-10.50. Not too bad. It is like buying Linux disk. - Chung >>> Day two. Still unable to access the order form for the "free" Solaris. What do you mean by that comment? Are you saying it's available right now. What I have read is that they plan to release it. Mike <<<
