So when *is* NeXT going to provide decent color cheap?  Their monitors
are priced ok (but the Phillips I saw was pretty poor), but the ND is
just too much.  You pay a bundle for an i860 that you don't even get
to use.  And video i/o that you may or may not need.  And no hardware
compression, as promised with the unchanged price.

Surely NeXT with their insanely great manufacturing can make a 24-bit
color machine cheap?
