Put 2.1 on optical and forget about shipping 2.0. Accord to a Next Rep that spoke at our NeXT User's Group two days ago, NeXT will be doing exactly that. They will start shipping all systems with 2.1 when it is available, and all 2.0 Upgrades which ship after 2.1 becomes available will automagically turn into 2.1. So it may just be a matter of luck and timing whether you receive 2.0 or 2.1. Never though you'd be *glad* to have a late upgrade, did you??? ;) >/* Kent L.

Could it be that NeXT delayed the last shipment of OD updates until the bug fixes were in? All I know is that when 2.1 and my '040 get shipped I'll be a lot happier.
