Dunno about Sun.  NeXT is MUCH more responsive to its customers than
Apple.

For example, I purchased a set of technical documentation back in 89.
I have received FOUR completely new sets of this documentation (it's
bigger than Inside Macintosh, BTW) since then; one with each OS
update, and one interim set.

NeXT has had hardware trouble with their optical drives.  Though our
machines are out of warranty, we have yet to pay for a replacement optical
drive.

You may argue that NeXT has so few customers that they have to treat them
better.  That does not change the fact that they do.
