The only problem is that you can't use the NeXT Dimension board with the
NeXT Stations :-)

The NeXT Station doesn't have any slots; you'll need to get a NeXT Cube,
which is about $8000.  As far as I know, the Cube is basically the same
as the Station, except that it has slots.

Yes, the NeXT Station *is* a nice machine, and when I was looking for
a computer to buy, I had a tough time deciding between it and the A3000.
Until I found out that there was no way to upgrade it to color.  I
HATE b&w.  If you want color, the NeXT Station Color is about $8000 and
gives you 1120 x 832 pixel 12 bit (4096 color) display with 12 MB.  Oh,
and you'll need the 340MB drive to do anything serious.

I really like the NeXT computers.  I just wish I could afford one.  :-)
