 Just another data point:

	Ordered '30 Cube '40 upgrade Nov.17, 1990
	Recevd Cube and PLI Floppy Drive Dec. 15, 1990
	Recevd Upgrade Jan. 16, 1991 ( Oh what a day - a war and an upgrade )

	As of today, Apr. 9, I have not recevd Improv, Frame Upgrade,
	Goodies,etc.

	I'm fairly pleased with my cube - I'm slightly disappointed with
	the NeXT Dimension pricing/delivery - I bought the cube almost
	entirely because of the NeXT Dim. availability.

	As far as improved speeds:

	There was a noticeable improvement between 1.0 & 2.0.
	There was a 2-3 times improvement upgrading to 16 megs.
	There was an additional 4-5 times improvement with '40. 

 Hope this encourages all you whom are waiting.

 Will
