Bad Assumption.  The cube isn't being sold into such environments
right now: all the first customers will in a workstation/server
environment already, and you'll be chugging NFS from a Sun or a
Pyramid or whatever in the Computer Science department.  If you don't
have a server handy, then you'll have a cube configured with a
Winchester, possibly as a new server for a small cluster.  This is how
they'll go into the Dance department.
