Because some of the people writing to me about Neuron request that their names
not be made public because of feared reprisals from Neurons (what OTHER kinds
of tactics are they using besides having no customer-service policy?)
employees, and because the volume or these notes is still relatively high, I
am reproducing parts of a more recent one without any identifying data, as
requested, to show what kinds of trends are emerging.

------------------------------------------------
 I would appreciate that you not make my name public.  I don't want Neuron to
cut me off until I am convinced that they are refusing to help...but I agree with you
that Neuron is a terrible company when it comes to customer support, honesty,
etc.

My colleague and I purchased 1414's so that we could communicate via fax and
could transfer files.  This has never worked.

   I suggest that you organize all those who have not received what they were
promised from Neuron and start playing hardball by filing complaints with the
New Jersey Attorney General's office and the Princeton, NJ, Better Business
Bureau.  Neuron apparently monitors comp.sys.next.* somewhat, so do this
organizing over the net.  You could provide addresses for the Attorney General
and BBB and encourage everyone to write.  I don't think Neuron is going to be
intimidated by what anyone has done so far, so maybe they will respond to this
additional pressure.
-------------------------------------------------

I promised to assist anyone who contemplates this sort of action.  But, as I have
continued to post [and to express to Neuron's uncaring staff on the telephone], all
I am looking for is either my $1000 back in exchange for the crippled and buggy
Neuron96+  OR a device that will actually work properly.

Oh boy do I NOT want to remain anonymous. I want them to know my 
name. I want them to have nightmares about it. As I said in 
another erecnt Neuron post, I do not live that far from 
Princeton and I just might drive over one day to see them in person ...

I guess I don't have to be afraid that the epoplke from Neuron 
will start harassing me on the phone - their phones do not 
seem to be capable of dialing my numbers. :)

I doubt you'd be able to find them.

Yes that seems to be a problem for them. However I'm sure if you
offered them money for calling you'd stand a good chance of receiving
one.

After 6 months of torment with Neuron I am back to my  USR setup which works
fine. The odd thing about Neuron's stuff is that is may work for a while and
then start acting up. One might even think that they did this in order to
either torment people or to force them to continuously upgrade. Upgrading
seems to be the only choice as they don't appear to honour warranties. I'm
quite surprised that the US would allow such a company to exist for so long.
It will be most interesting to read the upcoming NeXTWorld article on 
Neuron.

NeXT community.
