- I now report with great trepidation on my call to NBI. I fear that, first,
- the good-natured electronic banter about applehood et al will come to a close,
- since, while I don't pay much attention to the recipes and such, it gave me
- respite from the more technical subjects, peppered with utterances of
- frustration.
-
- Second, I fear that, since NB4 began shipping yesterday (i.e. Monday), it may
- raise the levels of anxiety, manifested by metaphorical clock and/or calendar
- watching among some. Orbis is planned for shippment this Thursday or next
- Monday.
-
- I would ask that we remember that every time that a new product was reported
- to be shipping, Ibid, for example, or even a newsletter, there
- was considerable variation in the dates when the items arrived in different
- parts of the US and the globe. They've proved that they have their system,
- and that shipping is not all that they do.
