I ordered my CDROM drive around the 6th of June, and received the cable that
goes with it three weeks ago, as I previously posted to this group.

After checking with our bookstore, I was told that I'd not receive the CDROM
until sometime in September.

This caused me to ask myself a question:  Why do I own a NeXT?  I've taken
a good look at PeeCee systems, and find that I could have a pretty nice, faster
setup for less money than what I could sell my 'station for.  Unfortunately
for me, I'm pretty attached to UNIX.  But not so attached that I'm willing
to wait three months for a CDROM drive to come in.

Does NeXT even realize that getting its 3.0 release out on time means
absolutely nothing to those people who don't have the CDROM drives they
ordered to read the release with?  Am I going to get the release *before*
the drive?  *Should* I sell my NeXT in favor of a market where I can go
buy off-the-shelf things down the street for cheaper than mail-order NeXT
equipment??


Annoyed,

--John

PS:  If someone has an email address at NeXT to which I can pipe my sob
     story to let them try and convince me that I'll continue using the
     computer for the 90's *in* the 90's, let me know.
