Here, here. It is _almost_ nice to here that I'm note the only one that is
getting jerked around by next. Our university, along with a number of others,
have combined to form an order of nexts  worthy of the companies attention.
It was supposed to be shipped on a Tuesday in November but still no show. This
is getting to be a bit of a drag it would come in very handy in some of my
soft. eng. courses. What really gets to me is that McGill (another Canadian
university) has gotten what I believe is there full order of 63 machines so
next can't very well try and blame the boarder for the delay. Next marketing
methods seem to be a strange mix. Some people report excellent relations and
others seem to be continuously screwed around and size of order doesn't seem
to be the major factor (ie. McGills X-windows problems). I mean if you can't
predict a capitalist who can you...:-)
