[comp.sys.next] 2.0 NeXT Tech Docs

isbell@ucscf.UCSC.EDU (Art Isbell) (06/06/91)

I purchased a set of 1.0 (Preliminary) Tech Docs as part of the May 1990
Developers' Class tuition with the understanding that I would receive the
"final" version in the future.  The final version turns out to be 2.0.
However, I remember reading on c.s.n. that all Tech Doc backorders should have
been shipped a couple of weeks ago.  Because I am only a few miles from NeXT,
I'm sure my Docs haven't been in transit for a couple of weeks :-)

So am I the only 1.0 Preliminary Tech Docs purchaser who hasn't received the
2.0 Tech Docs, or does a backorder still exist for those of us who purchased
1.0 Preliminary Tech Docs as part of a Developers' Class?

Please respond by email and I will summarize.

I'm ticked off by all the so-called 'promises' of delivery I keep hearing.
I've been waiting for the 2.0 Tech Docs since I placed my order at the
bookstore Feb 1st. Now it seems that the CS dept at the university has
the grab on the only (four) copies of the new Tech. Docs that have 
arrived. The bookstore couldn't even find the P.O. for the CS dept 
because the order was for 1.0 docs ordered a year ago. Why can't NeXT ship all
the docs ordered to any given bookstore in one go?
Wait wait wait wait wait... that's all I do...Will NeXT 4.0 be out before 
the 2.0 Concepts are available???
