[... stuff deleted ...] Just who is minding the store? Perhaps NeXT intends to ship the app on the new 2.88MB floppies and is having trouble with their suppliers for this part? NeXT has taken the rap for late-shipping a lot lately when actually, some of their suppliers have not been able to keep pace with NeXT's demand. This sounds like a "good news, bad news" situation to me. It's good news that lots of folks want NeXTs and bad news that the suppliers can't keep pace with the demand. -- "Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." -Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
