[ale] OFFTOPIC but cool

What's the confusion? According to Chris, they were going to send him an
eval copy without charging anything. Hummingbird and Starbase have both send
me limited-duration eval CD-ROMs just for the asking.

OTOH, Microsoft will charge you $12 (to cover shipping and handling) on
'free' upgrades (NT SP5 and O97 SR2, for example) and $20 for 90-day
evaluations of products.

   I am confused by their stating that its a 60 day evaluation and
   then saying its free. I guess its free in that you don't have to pay
   for shipping but it is a 60 day evaluation. I wonder what happens
   after 60 days?????

   i check www.bsdi.com on a regular basis and i saw that you can get a
   free 60-day evaluation of their bsd/os internet super server
   and i mean free...all i had to do was enter some personal info (no
   credit card info or anything like that) and they said it would ship
   soon

   i figured it'd be worth mentioning
