No, they don't.  Which is why I'm seriously looking at 486 systems, however
much I might hate the software: for price/performance, they're difficult to
beat. They also have the general advantage that you can go down the street and
buy what you want, instead of placing an order for a measly drive on June 8th,
paying in full, and not receiving it on September 5th (and counting).

NeXT did this to me on my 'station itself, and I was patient with them.

Then my monitor went bad, and they replaced it the *next*day*, so I didn't
hold that against them.  I must admit I've never seen a better service dept.

Now, 89 days later, my patience is wearing a trifle thin with their
shipping department.

I've had some people flame me slightly about my previous messages, telling
me to stop my whining, and to give NeXT a break:  even if I am whining
(which I'll admit), it just isn't good business to keep doing this sort of
thing to customers.  They'll eventually learn not to buy.
