I just made arrangements today to get the 200MB NeXTstation. I ordered
the 340MB (now 400) in mid-November because I was too lazy to mess with
third party drives and copying the extended release.

Now, I see that $1800 is too much for an additional 295MB, even for
the laziest of people. So now I will have my station by Friday (it must
be shipped from UNC Chapel Hill) and will be looking for a drive,
extended release, etc. Those Fujitsu's mentioned earlier sound
promising if they are still in stock.

A question: Are Webster's dictionary and thesaurus complete in the
standard release? Are there any (other) changes to the standard release
that are necessary to bring it up to the extended level? [Note that I
ask about *changes*, not additions.]

Also, out of curiosity, are these prices comparable to elsewhere?

From the UNC Chapel Hill RAM Shop NeXT Price List:

   NeXTstation 105     $3,395      NeXTcube 105     $5,895
               200      3,955               200      6,660
               400      5,195               400      8,500

   Laser Printer       $1,395      NeXTdimension    $3,000
                                      w/8MB RAM


Thanks for the info.
