Hello fellow NeXTers:

Today I received the crowning piece of bad news from those friends at NeXT!  
Yes, CD-ROMs that were ordered 8/1/92 will be shipped either 11/2/92 or 12/
14/92.  That is really nice!  Only 3-5 months for a product that NeXT was 
forcing their customers to purchase, if they wanted to upgrade to 3.0.

Well, I am quite angry at what is apparently shining proof of why NeXT 
cannot become more popular--they are their own and their customers' worst 
enemy!  they take away the floptical drive as a means of upgrading and 
then they can't stock enough units.  Then, since we have to buy through 
another school, we cannot even get the information NeXT needs to trace the 
order (notice I did not say expedite the order--I am no longer that naive!), 
so we have to wait, and wait, and wait, and wait ... understand?

So much for using the Novell client!  Just have to keep that PC around 
longer than anyone had nightmares about when we first discussed NeXT 
computers, and incidentally, it is not fun to be made to look bad by the 
very company whom you are so vociferously supporting to those who doubt!

We also have some NeXTturbos on order.  I bet that takes about 10-12 weeks.  
I cannot figure out how NeXT keeps any customers when they treat us like 
dirt, or worse.

Wanna take bets nothing can be done to expedite this?

Please understand I seek no flames, even though they may combust 
spontaneously.

Greatly disappointed,
Joe
