I sent in my NeoDesk 2.5 + $20 to get it upgraded to v. 3.0
about a month ago. Haven't heard anything from Gribnif yet, except I
got a spiffy advertisement from them yesterday promoting v. 3.0. Has
anyone received their upgrade in the mail yet?

I just called Gribniff yesterday. I was told that it may be up to another four weeks before I see my copy due to "overwhelming demand." Frankly, I'm a little disappointed, considering its already been six weeks, and that was supposed to be due to "overwhelming demand." I switched from NEODESK to DC DESKTOP because of NEO's method of handling installed applications made one of my most used programs incompatible. DC didn't have this problem. I sent in my upgrade to NEO because they fixed this problem and added the ability to place folders on the desktop. However, DC has now announced and upgrade that allows DC DESKTOP to place folders on the desktop. If I don't get my shipment soon, I may just cancel my order and get the DC upgrade. I really like the NEO design better than the DC design (much less RAM overhead theoretically better machine compatability). However, DC seems to work fine, and I'm getting annoyed at Gribniff's delay without notice (I had to call them, and then they couldn't take the time to check on my order specifically).

I sent mine August 16 and I got it about two weeks ago. It takes
some time since they have many orders to fill. You're gonna love it!!

I sent my $20 in 6 weeks ago. Since I hadn't received the cancelled check, I called up Gribnif. They said that they've been swamped with upgrade requests and are running about two weeks behind. Patience is a virtue I've been told.

I talked to the Gribnif guys and gal at the Boston Atari show and they
gave a couple of reasons why they were taking so long.
1. There were many more upgrades than they expected.
2. All the Atari shows came up rather close to each other (generally
about a month between them.) This, they said, was contributing
greatly to the turnaround.
And no, I haven't seen my upgrade yet either. Oh well. 2.05 is good
enough for now.
