I didn't order a machine (didn't have the monet when they finally ran out)
but I did talk to Norm and he also explained that these were used (or demo)
machines that that they may not be in perfect shape (but that they did
work.)

When I talked to Norm he explained that I might not get a complete set
of manuals (or any at all), but since I was gonna order 2.0 when I got
that machine, I didn't worry ab[out it.  He also said that the OD wasn't
going to be an original.

My only question is: Where did the manuals and original ODs go? I mean
NeXT shipped one set of each for each machine, where did the orignals
go?

BL however did explain the facts to me, so...
