[Quotes user debating the merits of upgrading to a Turbo ND system]

Very good question. At this point, given the information available, one
should be very careful re getting a ND. In fact unless it can't be avoided
I would recommend that noone buys a ND board until NeXT states its
intentions with respect to that product. 

Moreover, it is really odd that the only way Cube owners can get colour is
to get a ND. Not even Apple was that unreasonable.

Another good question. If NeXT wanted to reassure its user base they would.
After all one of the selling points of the Cube was mach, upgradable,etc...
However, the recent OD incident does leave me pessimistic. Its hard to
feel secure with NeXt at this time. It's a high stakes game.

Someone does. Also, I think it's not too hard to extrapolate.
