- I think it is better late than 'non-working when shipped'. I have never
- openly complained about it being delay repeatedly. But shipping a non-working
- product is worse. So there is a difference, although none is a good thing.
- I acknowledge the reason like being pressure from public/paid-customers to
- force a premature release, but it's not our fault, they (UU) have too many
- empty promises for too many times and too long. 'will ship next week', right!

- At least it is not too bad to hear, it' better than they quit the project
- or something. Remember what happened to Applied Engineering's high density
- floppy drive for Amiga? Somebody bought it and it never worked, finally
- struggled to get a refund. The whole product got dumped like a hot potato.
- Interestingly, they have one for the older Macintoshes which do not support
- high density drive natively. I don't know how this one is, but it's advertised
- in many mail-order ads in Mac mags. Any knowledge on that, someone?

- I do hope the fixed ver will be stable and good, I'd rather wait till they
- clean up the mess. Good luck,
