If you every see another cube for that price let me know I'd love to have a
first generation for my collection. John

Hi,
Yep I agree. HTML is annoying even on platforms that support it as an
internal functionality.
It _really_ doesn't make much sense in a group that discusses 10 year
old and older computer junk.
Hey did anyone see that somebody bid $425 on a NeXT cube on eBay? YOW!
Unbelievable. I wish I had that much cash to just throw around... tho' I
think I'd find a charitable
organization instead of someone on eBay to give it to if I did!
I bought a first-generation cube alone for $75 two weeks ago. I tho't
that was a pretty fair price. I still have to buy a monitor ($100 or less
locally) for it. A mouse, keyboard and long power cable cost me $70 and are
in the mail. Looks like less than $250 total or less after everything is
properly assembled.
Since I have a printer lying around for it it'll make a fair
print-server (I've used them before for this) for my Win '95, MacOSX Server
and other OSes I have around. I can also add a second CPU (040-25) board
internally for another $150 (with RAM) and have two machines running in it.
One neat thing about having two boards in one machine is that you can
have two docks on one monitor, one for each machine.
Well it's fun anyway. I'd wanted a first generation cube ever since I
had to sell my original four or five years ago. It seems neater than any of
my other obsolete hardware [far older stuff] for some reason.

I hate doing this, but I hate getting this type of mail even more. THIS
is how some of us get these messages from certain software made from a
company out in Redmond, Washington. There are options to TURN THIS OFF, but
unfortunately, you have to dig for it (from what I understand).

It was thus said that the Great John R. Keys, Jr. once stated:
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
