   The Gnis CD should  be available as a sales item around the first of July.
   Contact me during the week of the 4th for the lastest scoop.  As you can see
I'v
   e held this message for a while just to remind myself to let you know the
   status as it progressed.
 
   Price is set at $57. This includes  the lic. fee for the software.

Over my lunch hour I dropped out to Reston to pick up the CD.  You can't.
 
Unlike other CDs (the 1:2,000,000), it is not sold over the counter.  They
did take my $57 and promised to send it to me, though...  Anticipated
delivery of a couple days, i.e., from stock.
 
The fellow at the counter couldn't explain the reason why the CD couldn't be
sold over the counter.
