Can Anyone Help?

As an undergrad at UCSD am I eligible to get a NeXT at the student
rate even though UCSD does not carry (offer for sale) the cube? 
Anyone know how I can go about getting one?

Also, I heard that soon-to-be-released features include a graphics
co-processor, color support, and the 68040 based motherboard. Is 
there any truth to this and if so, and I manage to get one *NOW*,
will NeXT offer any kind of upgrade policy?
What would people do with their MegaPixel (mono) monitors?

One more-
Can any SCSI device can be attached to the cube?
(could you simply plug in an Apple laserwriter,
or a big SCSI hard drive?) or is a specific NeXT 
driver required for each?


Thanks in advance!
