- Yes, no, maybe.

- You can buy 1.5 now (and receive disks which may or may not work at
- some arbitrary point in the future) and then patch to 1.6.24 (25, 26,
- ...). PH does not, and will not, sell 1.6.24. Eventually they will sell
- 2.0, and Andy Tanenbaum probably has a vague idea when that will be. I
- suspect it will be a lot longer than a month, though.
