Here's what happened with Doom (or at least what they told me)

First of all, you probably all know about the bug that caused the Dec. 17
shipping date to be pushed back to the 27th.

Then, according to the recording, all overnight and next-day orders were
accidentally sent first class.

Also, all people who ordered with their Discover card had their orders
bounced by Discover.

All  of  this amounts  to  nothing for  me  though-  I ordered  before
Christmas  to  give as a gift, nothing  by two  days before Christmas.
Called and called the busy signal, faxed a note and (gasp) they called
me back and assured me that I would get it by Christmas.  Needless  to
say,  I gave the shareware  version  as the  Christmas  gift with  the
promise of the registered version soon to come.

Anyway, no disks as of  this  week.   I called yesterday to cancel the
damned thing  (and amazingly, I got through) and it turns out that all
of the  HOURS  that  I tried to  get through between my  order and new
year's amounted to SQUAT because the order company had lost my order

Actually  the IDSoftware people  are really very helpful  once you get
through.  They also promised to switch their order company.

So, if you haven't gotten  yours  yet, check your credit card  company
and if the charge isn't on it, you were probably lost too.

(HINT:  Once  you  do get  through,  press  9  for  customer  service-
otherwise you have to listen to the options forever).
