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 NeXT Inc. 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 NeXT 
computer.  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.

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 $500 
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.
