Probably. We haven't received ours either. But then, it took DEC twelve
days to replace a bad disk last month, and we have "eight-hour response time"
service coverage (yes, they always at least call me back within that time
frame. Big deal).
This level of "service" does simplify things, tho: the question of whether
to go with the "safe" choice of a big vendor or a small, potentially less
reliable one, doesn't come up anymore when we are looking to buy new equip-
ment. Made it much easier to purchase a MIPS for a database machine, with
its 12:1 price-performance advantage over a uVAX 3500.....
