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...]
