True about keeping people waiting this long.  There are a few factors to  
weigh in here too (I don't know if they've been mentioned already): (I'm  
writing about the software and hardware for 3.0 on CD):

* NeXT hired another company to do the actual shipping of the 3.0  
software.  I'm forgetting exactly what I was told by NeXT, but I think  
they ship around 250 3.0's per day.  I didn't ask whether that was 3.0  
CD's, floppies of 3.0 or what.

* If you call 1-800-848-NeXT, then option 5, then option 2, you can find  
out (approximately) how long you have to wait until 3.0 should arrive.   
They ship Federal Express 2nd day.

* Somebody should have to sign for both the NeXT CD-ROM drive and the 3.0  
software when it gets to your door.
