It's not Brisbane, but if mail order is OK, 2.1.6-R is available
for $A40 from laserbaud - www.laserbaud.com.au. I don't know what
postage costs. 2.1.7 has been released on FTP, but Walnut Creek
will not be cutting and shipping CDroms for a few weeks or a month
(nobody can really say how long, and noone ever seems to know why
the delay), which means we probably won't get them for 6 weeks.
They reckon there'll be a 2.2-R within a few weeks or a month (then
add maybe 2 months for WC to cut the CDs and send them out here).
Cheers,
Mike.
ps: I am going to wait for the 2.1.7 CD to arrive before buying it (I
already run it, thanks to an FTP install) - that way, you get slightly
later versions of all of the port sources, etc.
