For unknown reasons, I happen to have a retail box package
of Caldera 2.3 on my shelf...

... along side a Xandros retail box of unmarked vintage and
my sealed copy of "Micro$haft Winblows '98", the suite of
parody OS environment programs created in MacroMedia by
Palladium Interactive and packaged in a box resembling the
M$ 95 OS retail package.**  The humorless Mafia$oft thugs
forced the Palladium booth to be shut down at the Las Vegas
Comdex of November, '97 and had their Gates look-alike
physically ejected.  I guess when your products suck as bad
the M$ crap, it's hard to laugh at your own incompetence.

Anyway...
If you can provide a little more detail as to what I'm looking
for (an mpeg1 file? An mp3?)  I can scan the disk and see if
it is on that Caldera 2.3 version as well.

peace
aaron

Booted At Comdex, Company Turns To Macworld
[9:55AM] Shunned at last month's Comdex in Las Vegas,
Palladium Interactive's Microsoft bashing, and
much-talked-about, Microshaft Winblows '98 CD-ROM will debut
to a generally more receptive audience at Macworld Expo in
San Francisco, the company said today. "We are thrilled to
launch Microshaft Winblows 98 in the heart of Silicon Valley,"
said Palladium's vice president of marketing, Rob Halligan.
"We are certainly looking forward to a warmer reception at
Macworld than the one we received at Comdex." At Comdex
earlier this fall, Palladium was barred from the event while
walking the floor with a Bill Gates look-alike. But at
Macworld, the incognito Gates will be present, and it's
very likely no one will object.
