   That's what I thought you meant.

   I still think it's a stingy choice to only use four SIMM slots
   for the cube Turbo board.  Since the primary choice, economically
   speaking, would be 4 and 8 MB SIMMs at this time, the effective
   max RAM is 32 MB, which is a (another) step backward for the new
   board.

Yep.  I tried explaining this to some NeXT employees at NeXTworld.
They came to the conclusion that there were more than 4 slots in the
machines.  Stuff like this really make me want to go out and plunk
down $8K on machine just so I can spend $$$ on 16MB SIMMs to get 32MB
of RAM.

Here's my computer upgrade path.

C64 -> C128 -> VCR.

Basically, I decided several years ago not to buy another computer
until after college because they become obsolete so quickly.  It's
pretty damn foolish to spend $5K on a machine that will be obsolete in
24 months.  50 mips and Realtime Renderman is just going to make you
wish you had 100 mips, which in 24 months will cost you an equal
amount of money.
