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). -JV
