I just called Gribniff yesterday.  I was told that it may be up to another 
four weeks before I see my copy due to "overwhelming demand."  Frankly, I'm
a little disappointed, considering its already been six weeks, and that was
supposed to be due to "overwhelming demand."

I switched from NEODESK to DC DESKTOP because of NEO's method of handling
installed applications made one of my most used programs incompatible.  DC
didn't have this problem.  I sent in my upgrade to NEO because they fixed
this problem and added the ability to place folders on the desktop.  However,
DC has now announced and upgrade that allows DC DESKTOP to place folders on
the desktop.  If I don't get my shipment soon, I may just cancel my order
and get the DC upgrade.

I really like the NEO design better than the DC design (much less RAM overhead
theoretically better machine compatability).  However, DC seems to work fine,
and I'm getting annoyed at Gribniff's delay without notice (I had to call
them, and then they couldn't take the time to check on my order specifically).
