Hi,

I'm selling (not auctioning) my NeXT computer workstation, and would 
like to sell it locally. 

This Computer was the brain child of Steve Jobs after leaving Apple.
In 1985 Jobs created the NeXT Inc. company with financial aid from Ross
Perot and in 1988 released this incredible machine.  The base model 
had a price tag of $9995 and was soon replaced by the 'slab - pizza box' 
style computers.  Overall just over 50,000 of these machines (Cubes 
& 'Slabs') were ever produced, and they are extremely hard to find!  USA
Weekend Edition 12/31/1999 put NeXT workstations and cubes as one of the 
top 26 most collectable items in new Millennium, so the value will only 
go up.

This system includes the NeXT CUBE (magnesium casing) with a 25Mhz 68040 
main board, 16MB RAM (can take up to 64MB max), a Quantum 105MB 3.5" 
hard drive, and an internal 5.25" 256MB Magneto optical drive.  Also 
included are a NeXT 17" Monochrome display, keyboard & mouse, 
and all cables.  NextStep 2.1 (the Operating system) is installed on the 
hard drive, along with Mathematica V1.0, WriteNow Release 2.0, and a 
couple of misc programs.  The only part I haven't been able to use/test 
is the Magneto Optical drive, I never got my hands on a cartridge for 
this drive.

                               ***BONUS***

Since the system has such a small hard drive I'll throw in as a bonus 
a Quantum Fireball 1.05gb 3.5" SCSI hard drive.

                               ***BONUS***
   
The system is clean and in great working order, although its physical 
condition is a bit rough.  The Cube has various nicks and scratches on 
its case and the monitor has a small scuff mark on the left-mid side of 
the tube.  I was planning on refinishing the Cubes case, but never got 
around to it.

I've checked at various places on the web for current prices on NeXT 
equipment and just the keyboard & mouse go for $100!  I'm Asking $400
for the entire system.  I'm located in the Madison area and would like 
to sell the systems without having to ship it.  If you have any 
questions please send email to the address below, don't forget to take 
the anti spam part out before replying.  Thanks.

                
                                                         John.
