Howdy.  I'm definitely going to be getting a NeXT system.  Now, I need to
know what I should get.  I'm looking into getting a used NeXT cube since
it is going to be less expensive.  Should I be dissuaded from getting a
used machine?  I'd like color, but sadly I cannot afford it right now.
Is there any difference between the old cube and current cubes?  What about
future upgrades to 040, etc?  Can I stick any old SCSI disk in there?
What advantages do I get from getting a NeXTStation?  I know about the
040, but other than that...  Has anybody had any bad experiences in buying
a used system?  Any bad experiences with Businessland?  General comments?
Where can I get a used system at the lowest cost?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

			Thanks, Ralph
