Actually, I have a feeling that all the problems with MP110 owners
getting aluminum pens and NCK2 owners getting multiple upgrade copies
(along with, then, the opposite happening to those who SHOULD get those
things...) can probably be traced to a fulfillment house and not to
Apple. Haven't confirmed this with anyone yet but I suspect that Apple
doesn't do its own fulfillment.
I did ask someone at from PIE (at MacWorld) what to do with extra NCK2's
that I rcvd. He suggested that if we sent them back to Apple, that they
could use them in house. Considering how much we all want the Newt to
succeed, further bleeding of PIE's bottom-line should be avoided. Send
your extra NCK2's to Apple (think of it as recycling) and help save PIE!
