Hmm...as I recall, I posted a note indicating that my Cube had been spoken for either by (a) myself (irrational) or (b) someone who had offered me a fair price for it. I indicated the approximate offer ($5kUS) and that it was an issue of thinking over what it would be like to be without my Cube ( in the meantime I bought a 486 and repurchased a ci, as many here have their feet in several platforms). What's the point, you may ask? It's the word "yet" in your note. I have not given up yet. The Cube was and is a computer with something special about it. I make no appologies for supporting the MO. It was, is and NeXT will eventually realize, a good idea. The way NeXT handled both the MO and the ND was deplorable. Every company makes mistakes, and I assume they will make up for it at some point. [ Interesting note re the possibility of upgrading a Cube one day to colour, not via the ND...] Philip McDunnough philip@utstat.toronto.edu
