   And those of us who have an '030 NeXT and can't afford to upgrade?  Well, we
   can just go straight to hell, I 'spose.  My A1000 has more support. 1/2 :-)

NeXT Step 2.0 runs on the 030 machines.  NeXT didn't make some
optimizations to the OS because they wanted to make sure that it ran
on the 030 machines.  Let me know when you can get Amiga DOS 2.0 for
your Amiga.  Hopefully the 040 board upgrade will be offered for some
time so you will be able to get one.  $1000 bucks is not bad for a 3-4
fold increase in speed.  If you wait a year, just get the 88K upgrade
instead.

BTW, I think we're forgetting that the NeXT 040 upgrade is $1500 for
non-University owners.
