We were moved to the Jan. 31st date in mid November last year. Have not heard anything about another push-back. Our first ship date was supposed to be October 15 at the latest. Ha! Our district sales folks keep saying "we are still on allocation for the upgrades" and "we have asked for priority but . . .". Like I told them, it seems the company has put the long-time users on the back burner- In fact I wonder if we didn't get pushed off the stove. I suppose this means NeXT will be around for a few more years, but it has really put the bite on some of our plans here. Maybe we'll get NeXTstep2.1 when the upgrades finally make it. ;-) -Bill -- __________________Prof. William V.
