Hi, I own an 030 cube and I plan to upgrade to a Turbo (33-MHz 040) with NeXTdimension. With all the rumors flying around, I don't know what to do. I mean, is NeXTdimension going to be phased out? Will it ever have compression? Is it better to wait for the rumored RISC system if I'm already waiting for the Trubo cube upgrades to come out? (it's a difference of 4-6 months according to rumors -- July for the Turbo, September for the RISC.) Help!!! Thanks in advance, Eskandar Ensafi esky@mayhem.icsl.ucla.edu esky@marathon.cs.ucla.edu --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "It's a small world and it smells funny, I'd buy another if it wasn't for the money, Take back what I paid for another motherfucker in the motorcade..."

Help!!! NeXT, what *is* the future of the ND board? NeXT, if the rumors about a future RISC NeXT are correct, will there be an upgrade path for cubes? Good questions, Eskandar.

Very good question. At this point, given the information available, one should be very careful re getting a ND. In fact unless it can't be avoided I would recommend that noone buys a ND board until NeXT states its intentions with respect to that product. Moreover, it is really odd that the only way Cube owners can get colour is to get a ND. Not even Apple was that unreasonable. > >NeXT, if the rumors about a future RISC NeXT are correct, >will there be an upgrade path for cubes? Another good question. If NeXT wanted to reassure its user base they would. After all one of the selling points of the Cube was mach, upgradable,etc... However, the recent OD incident does leave me pessimistic. Its hard to feel secure with NeXt at this time. It's a high stakes game. > >Good questions, Eskandar. If only we had the answers! Someone does. Also, I think it's not too hard to extrapolate.
