They never had their heart in the NeXT to begin with; I don't even know why they bother to fly the banners. They aren't interested in selling the computers, and will tell you that if you try to buy from them. They wouldn't even stock our software on consignment, where they had no risk if they didn't sell any. Too much hassle for them or something.... A better place to go, for totally the opposite experience, is MacAdam computers in San Francisco. They're rabid NeXT enthusiasts, although they sell Macs, too (obviously, given their names). They have put together some very aggressive pricing and promotions for NeXT computers, and they're moving a LOT of them, by most reports. -- Glenn Reid NeXTmail: glenn@rightbrain.com RightBrain Software 415-326-2974 (NeXTfax 326-2977) Palo Alto, California
