I'm sure.  I have the brochure right here, there's a picture of the
open pizza box.  The floppy on the side, the hard disk, the 68040.
The whole brochure talks about this one machine, really.  Oh, it also
talks about how old NeXT cube owners can upgrade for $1600 to the
68040, just like the 'station.  And the price is on big black and
white letters on the back: $4995.

And that includes the 17" grey scale Megapixel display, a 105 Meg hard
drive, 8 Meg of system RAM, keyboard, mouse, and software.
