Hi,

	A NeXT representative told me today that the CPU chip on the
	turbo stations are upgradable.  ie, when a faster version of
	the 68040 chip comes out, you can replace the 33 Mhz one with
	the faster one.
	I've never heard of this for the Turbos.  Is this true?
	And if it is, can I replace the 040 with a 050 when it comes
	out?

	Also, they have a 3.0 machine running.  Everything seems to be
	there.  The "look and feel" has been improved.  Better color
	support.  (Color everywhere on the desktop!)  The representative
	said that NeXTstep 3.0 will ship in September.

	I also asked him about the fate of the Cube.  He sounds like
	that the cube will not be obsoleted in the future.
