Huh, a new case and a complete set of CDs? I've just got the magazine
(subscription was DevCon Advanced and is now xxxx).

They do an installation on hard disk? Great. I hated to search first for the
CD with the master cataloge (they do not always had a writing on it...), open
the cataloge with Netscape, search an interesting item/product/documentation,
search the CD with the item, open a commandline to install the product, goto
start.
Not to mention that my machine locked up two or more times in the process when
I tried to use the Java cataloge.
Thank you IBM for the wonderfull DevCon 2. I can't think of a way to make the
thing more useless.
And you say the Developer Toolbox is much better now? I'm looking forward to
receive the CDs...
Bye,
Vitus
