If someone can check the legaltity issue and get back to me, I will be more than willing to sell to disk to whomever makes me the first unrefusable offer. Apparently, if you own have any 040 machine, or will have an 040 Cube as soon as your upgrade arrives, then you have the licensing required to run 2.0 Extended. So, if you're on a NeXTStation, and have access to a Cube still running 1.0, or whatever...and you want a permanent copy of 2.0 Extended, let me know. I'll sell the one original OD I got in my upgrade box. MikeC (If anyone from NeXT determines, or can point out, that this is not a legal thing to do, let me know. I'm not out to be malicious. I'm just trying to help with the shortages) -- _________________________________________________________ Michael D. Callaghan, MDC Designs, University of Maryland mikec@wam.umd.edu
