I wasn't talking about the decision to drop the NeXTStep version.  I was
talking about them:
a) not sending the requested material when promised;
b) requiring a second request by me to get the information;
c) taking 1-3 weeks to fax something that should have been done the
   next day;
d) not mentioning the possibility of one of the products I specifically
   asked about being discontinued between the time I asked for the
   information and when they sent it.

I didn't have those kinds of problems with them in the past.
