Since no-one on Usenet seemed all that sure, I thought I'd call NeXT and
ask when we might expect 3.0 to appear. I was told that it started 'shipping'
on Monday, August 28th, and to expect my copy within a couple of weeks.

This could just be bullshit to appease customers, but it's what they say.

I was also amazed at:
   a) How prompt they were to answer; I didn't have to wait at all.
   b) How polite they were when dealing with a inquisative jerk like myself.

Anyway, now you know...

    Richard "NeXTWEENIE" O'Neill.
