They did NOT deliver what they sold. For a while, it looked like they were still behind the product, and would fix the lack of compression, swapfile leak, etc., but now it has become obvious to this thick-headed person that NeXT has pretty much told me where I can stick it. A multi-media project my company had has been canceled due to my decision to buy a NeXTdimension system, rather than add Raduis-TV and a bunch of other boards to a Mac FX, which would have produced a much more capable multi-media system than the NeXTdimension has turned out to be, though far less than was it was promised to be. I'm smarting from my failure to deliver, based on NeXT's published specs. The ND is not 'color done right'. It makes a pretty picture, but that's about it. I am by no means threatening legal action at this time. Jim De Arras
