  I add my applause to NeXT, Inc. assuming it is true that even
us souls who purchased OD only machines in the past will get
the swap disk.  I make one other suggestion. I found my cube to
be practically impossible to use when I first unpacked it because
it was so slow.  I went to 16MB of internal and found a world
of difference. My machine loads as fast as the one down the
hall with a hard disk and mathematica runs like a dream. So...
I think people would be far more impressed with the
machine's performance if the minimum configuration was 12MB ram
instead of 8.
  On a related note, I hear its pretty much a settled fact that
early in Q2 next year (fingers crossed) EVERYONE will upgrade
to the 68040 (50 MHZ!) for some minimal cost.  Assuming this is
true, what about the 8MB of 80ns ram I bought for my present
board? Can I use it in the new board?
