HELLO! I'm seriously considering purchasing a NeXTstation 400 but I
frequently run into some considerations. First of all, what really 
worries me is the expandability of the slab. I would like to upgrade
the station someday and I have heard that the slab is not configured
for expansion. Secondly, I would also someday upgrade to color, but 
I've also heard that that's improbable. These thoughts have slowed
my frenzy. I know the benefits but I'm now looking long-term.
Also, I'd like to run X11 under NextStep if I decide to purchase
the slab. Has anyone heard any developments in this case?

Any thoughts, sugestions, comments?

please e-mail to "markc@hardy.u.washington.edu"

thanks
