Until then I need to get a floppy. Does anyone know if they still have old cubes in stock? Also, does anyone have a phone # for this vendor? I'm planning to get a NeXT, and getting an old cube + 68040 upgrade board seems to be THE way to go since I want to geta NeXTdimension board sometime in the future (if I can afford it). Btw, I just got the "Fall 1990" price list. Does anyone else find the prices on hard disks and RAM a *bit* high? The 340 MB hard disk drive lists for $2,995, more than twice what you pay in The Real World, and RAM is even worse; 4*4 MB SIMMs cost $2,995 vs less than $1,000 elsewhere. Pity really -- it would be nice to get everything from one vendor instead of having to shop around. -- Disclaimer: Wang doesn't care about my opinions, so why should you?
