Gee if U of M thinks their new NeXT mahcine is so horrible, we'll
gladly take it off of their hands (we'll even pay the postage).
All donations cheefully accepted! :-)

I can't imgaine any mahcine so awful that I wouldn't even bother to
switch it on ... except for a VIC-20, perhaps.  One has to cut a
little slack, considering that the current O/S is a 0.8 beta
release.  Being a bug hunter is part of the payback for the
privilege of getting a cube early on to play with.

I really suspect that the cube-guardian at U of M was making up the
bug story to discourage too many prying hands from fondling what he
wanted to squirrel away for his and only his use.  Some people have
a most unfortunate attitude.  We'd love to have a cube here, but
we're just not a big enough institution to be in the "in" crowd
yet.
