se that new, spiffy keyboard (boo-hoo), but I have nothing bad to say about NeXT (yet?)

I have an old cube (SN 0000278), upgraded to 040, which I bought used a couple of months ago. It has an OD, which seems to be going bad, perhaps because it needs cleaning. I called NeXT service the other day, and they spent half an hour on the phone with me, even though they knew I was using an old, unwarranted, second-hand cube. Eventually, the super-cool tech (Joanne, I believe was her name--Thanks!) got me the name of someone who might be able to help out. (He didn't but that's not NeXT's fault. He's no



t related to them)

And, no, I'm not going to whine about my "soon-to-be obsolete" cube. It's fast enough for now. It has an OD, and I don't need to upgrade to a turbo. I certainly don't have the money to. I know someone who is a developer of Apple IIGS software. Where's the future in that? But he doesn't complain about Apple. Hell, he applied for a job.

Computers become obsolete.
Companies stop supporting old machines.
It happens.
Learn to deal with it or get some therapy.
