If this is true, does anyone know why there is such a long delay? At the rate things are changing, I don't think people will be interested in ordering cubes if it takes that long to receive them.

I know places that keep them in stock. Where did you hear this?

Where did you hear this? I've been hearing this crap for months now. Did you try calling NeXT too confirm it? 1-800-848-NeXT. My freaking school's Microcomputer Order Center was telling people this for months. Everyone, I talked to got their NeXT in a reasonable amount of time. Ah, Penn State. Well, at least we beat Georgia Tech. Maybe we'll be #1 in football, but there are too many people here that kiss IBM's ass. IBM sure does know how to buy friends. -Mike
