Yes, this is an excellent idea.  If NeXT will not make the upgrade available
via anonymous ftp, will they accept my 2.0 optical disk and install the upgrade
on it?  If so, at what cost?  I have no interest in buying $50 dollars worth of
2.88Mb disks when I don't have a 2.88Mb drive.  I would, however, be happy to
mail my 2.0 optical to NeXT for an upgrade.  NeXT needs to make some decisions
about how it is going to support all of the optical only cube owners out here
and saying "buy a $500 floppy drive" is simply NOT acceptable.  NeXT went out
of their way to make a computer that connects to the world in as many ways as
possible, how about supporting the upgrade path on more than one of those ways.

My OD only cubes await your response
