	I talked to someone at NeXT and they said the extended
	software might be priced around $175 and available on floppy.
	
	What I'm finding funny is this: I want to buy a new NeXT cube
	for development but they are making it difficult to get the
	requisite tools.  To me, a box isn't very useful if I
	can't program for it and make it pay.  I am somewhat concerned
	about NeXT making a big deal about Lotus software and , yet, not
	allowing me to fill the 105mb with something I can use.
	And which will increase the app. base for the NeXT
