I hate to flame, but I'm really tired of hearing this.  I
feel completely betrayed and more than a little angry.

Considering our semester starts on the 24th, the 3.0
release is really too late for me whenever it is.  I got the
impression from early news of 3.0 that I'd have it up and
running by now.  The date kept slipping and so did my chance
of using it any time soon.  

A big "Boo!  Hiss!" to missing a summer release date.  I now
either have to close our lab or wait 'til October to get the
job done right.  I'm sure other Universities have similar
situations. 

If NeXT is still aiming at higher education, they're not
hitting it very well.  Our machines should be stable and
consistent all semester long.  Making me do an upgrade
once a semester is underway is not a way to be my friend. 

I'm not opposed to coming in weekends and working late
nights to get machines upgraded and tested.  I'd just
rather do it between sessions and not when 440 users are
expecting to use our 24 hour lab.
