[McIDAS #ADB-429574]: Problem (Forbidden) to Download McIdas X

Hi Alan,

re:

No worries, and things are going very well, thanks!

Very good, this explains why you were denied access to Unidata McIDAS downloads.

Very good.

re:

I will send a note to our web person asking that she send you this
information I (or reset your password so you can set it again).

re:

Excellent.  I run McIDAS at home in this exact same environment.  I
also run Fedora 13 in VMWare Player under Windows 7 on my I7 laptop --
this setup smokes!

re: 
> Thanks again....Alan

No worries.  Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any
problems.


Cheers,

Tom
