I ordered a system 2 upgrade from the local Abacus computers (SF,CA) on
March 31st (extended version on optical).  It arrives April 19th, not bad!
So I open it up, looks like version 2.0, frown, 2.0 disk, 2.0 docs...BUT!!!
2.1 release notes (dated march 1991).  Wise guys (persons) I say.

So what do I own?  2.0 or 2.1?  The licensing agreement is in the "Upgrading
to Release 2.0", so it looks like 2.0, but the "Limited Warranty" in the 
same doc states that:  "NeXT warrants that all hardware and the physical
media containing any software or documentation...will be free from defects
in material and workmanship for one year from the date of delivery..."

I kind of think that there is a defect in materials here, however, pursuing
this with NeXT would probably result in a replacement of the defective 
documentation rather than the defective software; that is, if I can convince
them of a defect.

Any suggestions?
