One more slot can contain the elusive and valuable NeXTDimension card, which drives a color monitor, eats video and does frame captures, etc. I don't know of any other widely available boards for the slots, so 2 slots are essentially superfluous. (Well, there is a hack to put spare CPU boards in spare slots, but those CPUs do not communicate over the backplane - they might as well be in a seperate chassis.) Cubes (only) can accomodate the magneto-optical drive, and other 5.25" full-height drives, in their central tower. Station, as you know, is a pizzabox with less expansion room. Performance, RAM capacity, etc. is generally identical between (Turbo, non-turbo) cubes and mono (Turbo, non-turbo) Stations. Stations, both non- and turbo, came in color versions. These were slightly slower than the equivalent mono, and required external sound boxes. Their color capability was not as good as the Dimension board's (not as many colors, no frame-grabber, etc.) <turns slowly green> ...how ... nice ... for ... you .... <sobs> NeXTs seem to do pretty well with what they have. The MO drive in the cubes is a standout underperformer as far as speed goes, but otherwise they're pretty responsive. OmniWeb. Look at http://www.peak.org/next/apps/internet/www/ and grab everything that begins with Omni... . It will surf about 95% of the sites I hit. No Java, no animations. I count that a blessing. I also commend to your attention http://www.peak.org/next/apps/LighthouseDesign/ for an office suite of tools. I've got lots more NeXT-related bookmarks if anyone's interested in them. Nope. (I wish. I've suggested it, and for Mac.) Rendezvous is around $100, and amounts to an STK-light. It does about everything the base (now free) STK does, and a bit more, but nothing like as much as the full-up $multi-00,000 STK suite. It's a bit pokey on a 25 MHz Cube. General question: is modern software for classic machines off-topic? I see it as a way to keep the machines productive, and therefore right on-topic. McBoing pretty much hit our target orbit dead-on. I saw the video from Greenbelt MD. I was in the SMOC, telnetted to my NeXT and waiting to see whether the satellite would turn on when it separated from the 3rd stage. (It did. Whew! :-) ).
