When I went hunting for a boxed set of 9.0 I found them in a little store that 
specializes in this sort of thing.  The boxes weren't McMillan but Mandrake.  
They said they got them from Mandrake's Quebec offices.  Following the 
downsizing and what have we earlier this year the store was unable to get in 
any boxed sets of Mandrake, in spite of the fact that it outsold SuSE and 
RedHat by a factor of 2-1.

My assumption is that either the entry into bankruptcy protection messed up 
their distrubtion channels and McMillian pulled back or that someone just 
dropped the ball in North America.
