I've paid for the drive/3.0 upgrade, but the 3.0 hasn't arrived yet.  But,  
I know that some people on campus have already received the 3.0 cd. (one  
of which is a friend of mine)  I believe that having paid for my upgrade,  
I have a "right to use" licence.  I assume this means that it's full legal  
to *borrow* someone elses cd for a night and install 3.0 on my machine.   
Granted, I can't leave the cd in my drive and access it any time I want,  
but at least I can get 3.0 on my machine until my own cd gets here.

So, for all those people complaining about 3.0 not arriving and how  
absolutely *urgent* it is they get it, why not find someone else who has  
it?  A nearby university is bound to have lots.  Any registered NeXT  
developer or dealer should too, you'd think.
