Hello!
I just got off of the phone with NeXT's 800 number (1-800-848-6398)
regarding some questions I had about the OS 2.1 upgrade. When I inquired
about the possibility of obtaining the upgrade via anonymous ftp, the NeXT
representative said that they have no plans to do this at this time, however,
they said that they would make a note of my interest. When I then asked if
this was the proper way to express my interest in changing their policy, she
said that it was.
If you are interested in this method of distribution, call NeXT and tell
them so! There are other companies which provide this service via ftp, so why
not NeXT? (As an example, Apple's latest A/UX upgrade is available via ftp,
and it is approximately 10Mbytes in size.) The upgrade is useless without
version 2.0 of the OS, so there should be no licensing problems either. I
urge all people interested to call NeXT and POLITELY let them know that you
would like to see the upgrades made available via anonymous ftp!
