   Well, I understand you can buy it...but the large number of floppies
   required for an extended release together with their high price makes 
   it quite a lot to give away (even for Steve Jobs and Ross Perot;^)--
   especially in view of the intended use of NeXTstations as network nodes
   that could avail themselves of a central file server.

Well, the obvious solution is to purchase the floppies with your machine.
Right now I guess you probably won't get them for awhile, but once
NeXT has the logistics down, you shouldn't have a problem.

But don't make _me_ pay for floppies that I don't want.  In the end, if
the Extended release were included on floppy, we'd all be paying that
extra 200-odd dollars, rather than only those who really need it.
[I can use our lab machines to rebuild, if I need to -scott]  Besides,
they'd not have had the media to include at this time, from the way
it sounds.

Later,
