I called Sierra Saturday 12/7 and they told me that my N2 shipped on
12/3. They gave me a tracking number to verify. I went to UPS's Web page
to check on the status of my order. Here is the status of my order:
Picked up:  FRESNO-WOODWARD PARK, CA 12-06-1996 5:25:00 PM
                  Message: ORIGIN BUILDING
                  Status: EN ROUTE
And, Sierra said it shipped on 12/3. I guess I'll have it Tuesday.

All these Sierra Horror Stories remind me of the Doom2 Pre Orders..
they shipped late and cost more than retail. ID (or the Distributor I
dont remember which) ended up offering full REFUNDS to everyone who
pre-ordered AND let them keep their Reg. copies AND gave them a free
T-shirt. This turned a possibly catostrophic PR nightmare into a fairly
harmless snafu. Maybe Sierra will wake up and realize what their doing
to people.
