Below is a list of manufacturers for external floppy drives that I have. If you have better info or other manufacturer for external floppy drives, could you mail me the name of the company, phone number, and email address? In a few days I'll summarize so we all know where to get external floppy drives! Also, does anyone know if there's an educational discount for Lotus Improv (now that the free offer is over)?

Improv deal is not over yet. After receiving my delayed 040 upgrade last week (I ordered it in November last year), I called NeXT's 800 number to ask if I can get Improv for free. The lady I talked on the phone told me I need a proof of order (not proof of purchase). Then I called The Scholar's Workstation which is UC Berkeley's computer sales department. What I was told is that NeXT extended the deadline (again!) to the end of May. Hideo Mizoguchi University of California at Berkeley

I recently got my upgrade and when I called NeXT the lady said I had to send in the card, I could not register over the phone. The card didn't have any date ordered field anywhere on it, just a NeXT serial number field and address information. In the comment field, I explained how I ordered in Novermber and received in April. It will be interesting to see if I get the run around... tjb -- _____________________________________________________________________ | INTERNET: tjb@IceCube.unh.edu USPS: Thomas Baker | | USENET: uunet!IceCube.unh.edu!tjb P.O.
