- I was told Wednesday by a supervisor in the orders dept at NeXT that
- the good news was that 3.0 was shipping (I had that it had stopped) and
- that the stoppage had something to do with the license agreement that
- was now resolved.
-
- So it is possible that:
- the 3.0 shipping delay is old news that just reached the net and
- that it is now finally shipping. just after I was told this, NeXT 3.0
- press releases appeared on the net.
-
- It would be nice if NeXT would let their customers in on the reason
- for the latest delay, but I'ld prefer they focus their ad effort on Time,
- Forbes, biased Unix and DOS rags than on us USENET weanies.
