Yes, it's been less than 2 months since I got mine.

Yes. I figured buying a NeXT Station 105 while I was still a student
was a good get-my-foot-in-the-door trick, I hope I don't get hung out
to dry when a machine with 3 times the performance comes out and I
have no way to upgrade.

One disturbing comment near the end of that InfoWorld article,
something about the fact that there aren't many NeXT users making a
radical hardware change less painful.  I hope that doesn't mean they
are going to abandon their current NeXT supporters (like me), no
matter how few there are.
