Shephard) Distribution: na Organization: Amdahl Corporation, Sunnyvale CA Lines: 29 Well my '040 upgrade is here. Total 8 week turnaround, not great, not bad. Just long enough for you to be impatient and short enough so you don't cancel the order. Now here's the problem I now have a $1000 piece of worthless hardware. You see someone neglected to ship my 2.0/2.1 optical disk. My upgrade board is totally useless until I get my software. Why the hell send the hardware if you don't ship the software needed to run the hardware? Am I missing something? I don't think so, but if I am let me know. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I'm in HELL. I'm being tortured. I can see my upgrade but I can't use it. Somebody, anybody, save me. Now that I have that out of my system. I hope my optical disk with 2.1, that's right I don't want 2.0 now that 2.1 is shipping, will arive soon. Until then I think I'll just look at the new '040 board and pray that I'll be able to use it soon. Now let's see how long my 2.0 technical documentation takes to arrive. I ordered it about 2-3 weeks ago. KeNT - I'll be satisfied when my optical disk gets here. But then, I may never be satisfied. -- /* -The opinions expressed are my own, not my employers. */ /* For I can only express my own opinions. */ /* */ /* Kent L.
