This person: -Declan -------------------------------------------------------------------- Declan McCullagh / NeXT Campus Consultant \ declan@remus.rutgers.edu -------------------------------------------------------------------- posts here a lot, and is plenty helpful over the net; but if he offers to help you out with a purchase, DON'T SEND HIM ANY MONEY!!! Being in Australia I have to depend on people in the US for parts. He offered to buy a couple of optical disks for me in September when I bought his cube. He took my cash, and has never sent disks or my money back. Since then he doesn't even answer my mail or postings. So be warned that not everyone on the net or in comp.sys.next may be trusted. I suppose that's obvious. Sigh. :-( Listen to this guy: "The NeXT community needs more people like him - and like Eric - to write shareware and public domain utilities that will make the NeXT platform a pleasure to use." What the NeXT community needs is people that don't rip other people off. paul@terrapin.bus.bu.oz.au -- Paul Davis Internet: paul@terrapin.bus.bu.oz.au P.O.
