- Another data point: got mine today (12/21/92). And, I ordered it on 9/11/92,
- so they're coming...
-
- A reminder: the backorders are not a NeXT-specific problem. A few weeks ago I
- posted some info detailing massive backorder problems throughout the industry,
- with a focus on the backorder problems at the top half dozen or so computer
- companies. If you canceled your order, and got a different CD-ROM drive from
- another source, and if you got it from that source faster than NeXT would have
- gotten it to you, then you either (1) got lucky, or (2) paid a premium, or (3)
- got lucky AND paid a premium. So, for those that got impatient (oh ye of
- little faith in NeXT) and paid a premium from another source: was it worth it?
