Well it shipped for a day or two, maybe....

NeXT has put on hold 3.0 shipments until at least next week, according to the  
shipper. (I called them, to see when I would get my 2nd-day air delivery).  He  
also said if I haven't got it, not to expect it until the 25th, "to be safe."

Jeff at ucc(?) was very obliging but did not say as to why 3.0 is not
shipping.  My contacts at NeXT are irritatingly quiet.

The sad thing is that the decision to hold shipment was made after NeXT
made a very public announcement of it shipping (as to say it shipped before
September 1).  When the trade rags see this, it probably not be a good press  
day for NeXT.
