I have heard from a good source that as of last Friday, NeXT no longer has a "business relationship" with BusinessLand. Big surprise there, for all the "satisfied" (rife with sarcasm) customers they have. You have to admire BL's hiring policy, though. They ONLY hire the learning disabled. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bill Roth, University of Wisconsin Physical Sciences Laboratory email: bill@pslu1.psl.wisc.edu bill@wiscpsl.bitnet / (608)-873-6651

I took the disk back to B'Land and they gave me a new one. Mind you they didn't ask for the old one back. I took it home, once I got my WREN formatted I initilized the disk and no problems. I now have a spare disk for backup. Noe if only their support was that good. Nahhh, never mind I get it at my campus bookstore anyway. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Bill Roth, University of Wisconsin Physical Sciences Laboratory > email: bill@pslu1.psl.wisc.edu bill@wiscpsl.bitnet / (608)-873-6651 KeNT - A NeXT at home, stand alone is difinitely KILLER!!! -- /* -The opinions expressed are my own, not my employers. */ /* For I can only express my own opinions. */ /* */ /* Kent L.

Independant of the quality of the post, this part of the information is accurate. I was there when Bill heard directly from our NeXT representative that NeXT no longer had _any_ relationship with B'Land. I'm not trying to be argumentative. I'm just attempting to validate some accurate information - so no flames, please! - sparkie -- ___ ___ ___ ___ _ _ _ ___ / __\| . \/ . \| . \| |/ /|_|| _ | sparkie@picard.cs.wisc.edu \__ \| __/| || _ /| < | || _[ - or - \___/|_| |_|_||_|\\|_|\_\|_||___| harier!sparkie@cs.wisc.edu

I'd just like to put in that my experiences with BusinessLand have been very pleasant. They may not have the most technically knowledgable staff, but they have been very professional. I bought a demo cube from them last November, and there have been a few minor problems with it. I have never felt that BusinessLand had dumped me with a problematic machine. Personally, I feel that there have been many more happy customers of BLand than unhappy. Varun Mitroo mitroo@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu
