Well, noone seems to have addressed this problem, so here goes...

A few days back, I upgraded my home machine and all the 2.0 NeXTs at AU to
2.1  Great! It even fixed my UUCP sendmail problem from home (although it
still has problems when I send NeXTmail)

Anyhow...my Color NeXTstation arrives (@ 2 weeks after ordering !Thanx NeXT!)
and while demo-ing the Preferences, I notice that there is a pop-up menu
under the boot choices that allow you to have the Color-station to turn
itself back on after power-off/down/failure or on a specific date/time.

GREAT!! That was always one of my biggest problems!! So I check out my other
030 cubes...no popup menu...

I go home and check out my NeXTstation...and Preferences won't open up...
(temporarily running off of the 105 dist since my ext is being fixed)

So...is this something special for the Color machine, 040's with full dist,
or what?
