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. > >NeXT, if the rumors about a future RISC NeXT are correct, >will there be an upgrade path for cubes? 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. > >Good questions, Eskandar. If only we had the answers! Someone does. Also, I think it's not too hard to extrapolate.
