Thanks to all the people who wrote me. Well, I finally got my cube 2 weeks to the day after I ordered it. My salesman was very humble and sorry it took so long [ at least while I was in range of his voice ] but it is here. One of the letters mentioned that the salesmans 40 Mac purchase buy with it's coresponding commision will, of course, take precident over the half price NeXT sale to the student who just spent half of his yearly income [ forgive my paraphrasing ]. How true. On the other hand I have gotten a number of horror stories about Viking shipping. Everything from 2 computers and no monitors, to boxes full of bullet holes [ bullets included!! ]. The wait, of course, pissed me off, but having my little black cube now makes me forget about the wait. I would have been alot more understanding if I had been told up front "2 weeks", but nooooo... I suppose there is a lession to be learned here, about half price sales, the joy of shipping companies, and sales people on commision. This lession is certainly not lost on me, but at least I have my cube now, and I wont have to deal with B-Land anymore.
