	I am considering buying a NeXTStation Turbo through one of
those nifty Educational deals.  I am trying to decide between a stacked
INTEL 486DX50 based system with an EISA bus versus a NeXT.  The problem
is that I can probably only afford a NeXT slab.  What kind of expandabilty
and Upgradeability do these offer?  Here are the specific questions.

[Please note that I am refering to a NeXTstation system here, as I probably
 cannot afford a cube]

	1) Any chance of an upgrade from a mono system to a colour one?
	   How much does it cost?

	2) What about CPU upgrades?  Do they exist ? I heard a rumour about
	   an upgrade to 88000 Risc chips... what about that?

	3) Can I "trade up" my whole system for a better one later?

OK now for some more...

	4) Can I hook up some sort of "multiport" serial device to a slab to 
	   allow me to hook up some terminals, or modems?  I mean more
	   than the 2 RS432 that comes standard.  I am interested in 
	   setting up a public-access unix system or something.

	5) Do many games exist for the NeXT?

	6) Can I hook my next to ISDN? How? at what cost?
	     (I don't mean where to get ISDN services, I mean physical
	      connection between a NeXTstation and an ISDN line)

	7) Can I use SLIP on my NeXT?

	8) Can I get a newsfeed to my Next through uucp and a modem?
	   
	9) Will NeXTMail work over uucp or SLIP ?

	Any info to answer above is apreciated.  No religious war
type responses about my mention of "another" hardware platform please.
I will eagerly accept email responses of the non-NeXTMail variety.
I will also scan the group for posts, but email is nicer.  I hope
that this is the right group for this, since I don't know, but I won't
crosspost it.
