What's the word on 0.9? I understood that it was to be released on April 10. Did NeXT make that date? What sort of distribution plan is there? <-- Read this, When do I get mine?? --SCott Dickson Penn State Center for Academic Computing

Whoever is right, both are soon. The distribution is being done by mail or ups. The disk (and new manual I assume) go to the address on your registration card that I hope people have sent in. I have nothing to do with Next Inc. aside from being a pest with lots of questions and owning a really nice cube.

They were running 0.9 on the demos, and some people who actually have NeXTs here were pleased with the changes. Bad news for those of you who like Jot. A NeXT rep. told me it wasn't just out on 0.9, it's dead. Anyone have $6500 they don't want? :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Bob Heiney "And in the end, the love you | | labc-4da@rosebud.Berkeley.edu take is equal to the love you make." | | -- The Beatles | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

People from NeXT were at Caltech today (4/13). They said that .9 should be available by Friday (4/14). Also, they claimed that 1.0 will be out by June (yes, of '89 :-) Adam Janin janin@tybalt.caltech.edu
