Cube is basically a NeXTstation with slots. And > Mike has many times told you the considerable price difference. Yes. Commodore has a machine without slots, too... the Amiga 500. But it's still as expandable as the 2000 or 3000. You can put an expansion box on the 500 that gives you real live Zorro slots, coprocessor slots, and so on. Given that the whole 500 costs less than the cheapest NeXT peripheral I can think of, I suspect that Jobs could have done the same. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' .
