However, the original poster then found it was no longer "getable". This was a clear hint that maybe NeXT DID mind. The original poster responded to this by advertising that he had now made it available. Let me say only that, if someone did that to me, I wouldn't care for it. I have no idea how NeXT feels about it. c.f.waltrip Internet: Opinions expressed are my own.
