I was told Wednesday by a supervisor in the orders dept at NeXT that
the good news was that 3.0 was shipping  (I had that it had stopped) and
that the stoppage had something to do with the license agreement that
was now resolved.

So it is possible that:
  the 3.0 shipping delay is old news that just reached the net and
that it is now finally shipping.  just after I was told this, NeXT 3.0
press releases appeared on the net.

  It would be nice if NeXT would let their customers in on the reason
for the latest delay, but I'ld prefer they focus their ad effort on Time,
Forbes, biased Unix and DOS rags than on us USENET weanies.

Remember what Shakespeare said about lawyers
