This leads me to ask something that has come up as a major concern in our evaluation of the NeXT machine. I have heard that company hardware/software support is minimal (though Ali Ozer's job title and helpful comments on this group would seem to say otherwise). What kind of support is being offered; hotline, bulletin board or just wishes of good luck? Thanks for the continued help. Phil Stone (phil@eos.arc.nasa.gov / ames!eos!phil)
