I have an '040 cube at home with a Mac IIx.  Otherwise, same
configuration.

I thought this was stupid as well--but then you have to do the
same thing with Mathematica.  Re: Mathematica, I don't use it so
it just sits unregistered.

Strange, they called me back and gave me the key within 6 hours
or so.  No questions asked.

Are you sure?  Nothing was said about the key I received to be
temporary.  How did you pay for the product?  I used plastic.

I bought the product around a week ago.  The box came with v1.07
for NS2.1 and v1.09 for NS3.0.  When did you purchase the
product?  I'm running NS2.1 and plan on upgrading to V3 when 3.1
comes out.

The product works well.  I'm able to print directly from my Mac
to my NeXT laser printer and I've offloaded a lot of files stored
on Macintosh diskettes to 1 optical disk.  Using the optical is
waaay slow, though.  What's a nice feature is that I'm allowed to
print from my NeXT to printers connected to my Mac--when 1200dpi
laser printers are a commodity, I'll be using that feature a
lot...unless NeXT comes out with one first to replace the 400dpi
laser.  Too bad I can't see Macintosh volumes from my NeXT or
it'll be perfect, but I don't have that need at this point.

One additional item: the scripts that start ushare has a lot of
sleeps and it would take forever for the daemons to be launched.
I commented them out and now it loads a lot faster and everything
still works...
