Hi,
Why don't we have a site license like we've had before?
Thanks,
Paul

>Dear Current and Potential Mac Users,
>
> You can now purchase licenses and media for Mac OS X -
>Apple's newest operating system for Macintosh computers, based on
>Unix underpinnings - at a significant discount through Software
>Distribution.
>
> The individual licenses cost $38 and the individual media
>packages cost $8. Each media package includes three CD-ROMs:
>
> - Mac OS X 10.0
> (which you can upgrade to version 10.0.4 via a free download)
> - Mac OS 9.1
> (a full installer for the previous version of the Mac OS, required
> to run most current Mac OS programs under Mac OS X)
> - Developer Tools for Mac OS X
> (with a free upgrade also available online)
>
> You can purchase more then one license on a
>first-come-first-served basis but we ask that those users buying
>multiple licenses only buy one media package for every three
>licenses. This is to ensure that we have enough CD's for all users
>since we only have a limited supply.
>
> These discounted licenses allow you to install any free Mac
>OS X updates that Apple may release. However, they cannot be used
>to obtain discounts on any future upgrades for which Apple will
>charge a fee. (Specifically, these licenses will be eligible for
>Apple's Mac OS X 10.1 update, due in September 2001, if Apple offers
>that update for downloading without charging a fee.)
>
> Mac OS X will run on nearly all Macintosh computers based on
>G3 or G4 processors. See <http://www.info.apple.com/usen/macosx/>
>for detailed system requirements.
>
> As noted in a recent Berkeley Computing and Communications
>article
><http://istpub.berkeley.edu:4201/bcc/Spring2001/mic.osx.html>, Mac
>OS X is still very new, and represents a radical departure from
>earlier versions of this operating system. At this time, it is most
>appropriate for installation and use by Macintosh support providers,
>system administrators, and advanced early adopters.
>
> You can find the registration form at for Max OS X our
>website: http://softdist.berkeley.edu:591/MacOSX/default.htm. Fill
>out the necessary information and either fax the form to us
>(643-5385) or drop it off at our office (238 Evans).
