Mike, this is a NEW bitch about the ship dates.  I also called NeXT
recently, and was informed that my CD-ROM drive which they had told me
was scheduled to go out last week is now further delayed until
NOVEMBER!  That will be a 2-3 month wait before I can use my 3.0
upgrade!  This is inexcusable!  And even more so for folks who have
been waiting since early summer or before for their drives.  Do you
have your drive?  If so, maybe you would care to ship it around to us
folks who don't have it so we can upgrade and witness all those bugs.
Until I get mine, I'm not going to mind seeing reports about new
delays in shipping (although I DO mind the delay).

There maybe a number of folks out there who don't know that their
drives that they expect real soon now are going to be delayed mucho
more time.  I for one would like to know.

I don't know what it's like at your site, but bug reports are totally
obscuring EVERYTHING else here.
