Unfortunately, I think that all of the ND's are probably going to stay  
with their cubes.  As all of our cubes continue to decrease in resale  
value, nobody will want to downgrade their "unique" cube by selling off  
its ND, without embracing the opportunity to unload the cube at the same  
time (and buy an NSC or NBC or whatever).

I fear that us cube owners are going down with the cube.
