[comp.sys.next] NeXTConnection and Diagram

kls30@duts.ccc.amdahl.com (Kent L Shephard) (03/29/91)

I just wanted to inform everybody that NeXTConnection has service that is
FASSSSSSSST.  I ordered Diagram on Wednesday.  I got home yseterday
(Thursday) and it was there.  They use next day express.  I thought that
getting within the week would be fast but next day is great.  Anyway I'm
all hyped about having Diagram.  Now I need my 2.1 upgrade.  If NeXT was
that fast I would really be a "happy camper."

For those who are interested my order for a 2.0 and '040 upgrade was made
on Feb. 12.  So it's been about 6 weeks.   Patience was never one of my
better qualities.

I also ordered the 2.0 Tech documentation last week.  The price at
San Jose State University is $112.  The price at Computer Attic was $139.
bet you can guess where I ordered mine from.

BTW - When is someone going to write a GOOD book, or any book for that
matter on programming with IB.  I'm lost with the on line stuff, can't
do a thing with it.  That's why I ordered the Tech docs.

Anyway, a whole lot of good online documentation is going to do when the
machine just puked and you can't get it up and running.  A catch 22.  You
can't get the machine up and running, but you need the machine up and
running to see how to get it up and running.

My advise is: Spent the $110 or so to save yourself some grief.

I'm now back to drumming my fingers since the software and hardware that
I want to use needs 2.0.
