(1) I love my NeXT, and would immediately buy it again. In general, the NeXT
folks have stood behind their product much better than say Apple or Sun. Just
consider upgrade prices and free warranty extensions (unlike Apple, even when
the delivered harddisk was faulty, they didn't fix it).

(2) Like many, I am glad to see that NeXT has orders. I am not glad not to
have received my upgrade yet.

(3) The only thing I am *REAL* unhappy about is the OD in my cube. Alright, I
live in a dusty environment, and newer cubes than mine blow the dust the right
way, and thus avoid breakdowns. Still, given that I have an old-design cube, I
have no choice but to sell it (which I have already committed too). Pity.

(4) Let's get back to a discussion about how to improve things  in the future,
not each individual's opinion about past problems.
