- Finally, a ray of hope.
-
- My first 2 3.0's arrived (only xxx more to go...). I don't see any rhyme or
- reason to this. These were for systems ordered in May, but I have systems
- ordered in January which I have not seen yet. I guess I will wait
-
- Bottom line: NeXT's shipping Status:
-
- Packing slips appear to be printed August 25 (with ship date of 8/25)
- Fed Ex says they received the package on Sep 10th.
- It got to RST on the 11th.
- It was handled by our receiving this morning...
- and they promptly started paperwork to ship it back,
- because they came on an old P.O. that was marked "received in full"
- (systems ordered after Jan22 and before Aug 31 were shipped with 2.2,
- and no mention of a 3.0 upgrade on backorder).
- Arg.;-)
- fyi...
-
- NeXT is shipping in this order (supposedly):
- Free upgrades first (all systems ordered after 3.0 was announced in
- January).
- CD-ROM drive bundles during same time frame
- Purchased Upgrades (NeXT items 5527 or 5528) received before 8/31.
-
- NeXT's shipping people have yet to give me a status on any of my shipments.
- To be pristine, you must match the shipped package for the correct machine, as
- they are serialized licenses. This license will ensure future releases (3.1)
- will be shipped to you.
-
- later...
