I had my registration faxed in in the middle of februari and never got a word
from NeXT. My problem is that I cannot even call them, because at the moment
I am in Europe (and took the computer along) and from here I cannot call
any 800 numbers. I wonder: Is it company policy to first try to get people
to register as quickly as possible and then give them all the promised goodies
as late as possible? I never even got a reply to the fax with the registration
card. Am I registered properly (you never know with faxes)?
Can anyone from NeXT comment? At least let us know why it takes this much
time (as they say: understanding is forgiving....(maybe :-) )).
