My Cube is up and running fine. For those who are keeping stats, I ordered my Cube from Norm Gilbert at BLand on 1-28-91, sent a personal check U.S. mail on 1-30-91 and got my Cube on 2-25-91. Thanks again to all those who helped me get my Hard Disk running (thanks NeXT for telling what "error 65" meant) and especially to our NeXT Rep. here at UofA, Drew Davidson, for getting me set up with NeXTStep 2.0 and answering *lots* of questions!

We're finding that many of them were left with the system trying to boot from a hard drive and yet there was no hard drive in the cube. In other cases, there was some confusion with the warehouse people regarding the setup of the cubes. The warehouse people were under the impression that they only needed to test the cubes and in some cases, if you purchased a hard drive system, you'll discover that the hard drive has not been "built". Have you tried to boot directly from the optical drive after going into the ROM monitor per the procedures and changing the boot device to the OD? If your cube still fails to operate, please call Kim at (415) 475-4488 (if you get her voice mail, please either press #0 and ask to have her paged or leave as detailed a message as possible on her voice mail so she can call you back) and INSIST that she send you a replacement OVERNIGHT AIRGREIGHT. At the same time, please ask Kim for a Return Authorization number and shipping instructions to return your defective cube to us. Again, my apologies for any difficulties you are having with your purchase. We will do everything in our power to get this resolved quickly and to your complete satisfaction. id AA15748; Mon, 4 Mar 91 08:08:01 EST id AA24506; Mon, 4 Mar 91 08:08:22 -0500
