Well, despite the reverberations of support from the Net re: my original  
post, I'm still FED UP!  

I use my 2 NeXTs (work and home) all day, every day and although they are  
in good working order, it *is* important (to me and lots of others out  
there) not to be left "holding the bag."

I can understand the inherent impossibilities of complaining about the  
obsolescence of your old car once new '93 models are introduced; but, by  
the same token there are relatively few major innovations, modifications,  
paradigm shifts, etc. which occur in the automotive industry. 

All I want is some way to keep "current." The funny thing is, I ready and  
willing to PAY for it--just don't tell me that I have to JUNK my ENTIRE  
SYSTEM and purchase a new one to do it.

I recently finished a grant proposal which will involve the purchase of  
*many* machines--if it's funded. Given the current state-of-affairs, it  
would be very difficult for me to spend that $ on NeXT boxes.

Like many of you, I jumped on the NeXT bandwagon early on. At that time,  
the cube was billed as the best... I gladly blew the $ for a cube (which,  
BTW, I'm still making payments on) and later, a plane ticket out to the  
Expo because I was extremely enthusiastic about NeXT. I really *believed*  
that Steve Jobs would "Do it Right!"

Now, that enthusiasm is a fadin' real fast.

[Impassioned Plea]

NeXT, Steve, now is the time to step forward and prove that you really  
support your past, present and future customers once you have their $.  
Design and produce upgrade solutions which won't leave us 
"out in the cold."
