Yesterday, I posted a message about the NeXT cube becoming a white
elephant...

I still would like to know some things...  such as:

  When the NRW or Brick or whatever comes out, is there to be a 
new box design?  I want to know if the new machine, wheather it be
"pentium" based or 88K based (I would lean towards the pentium because
it will be far cheaper to buy the raw chip, since there are millions of
PC clone vendors that are wanting them) anyway, I would like to know
if I will be able to upgrade (or at least buy a nearly-plug-and-play
motherborad for my cube...  or if I will have to buy a whole new box?
Obviously, I would like to do this, since it would be pretty cool
to have an 040 and a Pentium/88K board in the same box, so that I
could still use the OD...
