Wanted: stand for NeXT monitor

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

we have one of the  NeXT   cube  looking  computer, a monitor and a NeXT  
laser printer.  looking   for  an  archive stash of advertising lit. and  
graphics   we  can use  to build  a display around this hardware.   
Suggestions?  Thanks  Ed Sharpe  _www.smecc.org_ (http://www.smecc.org)

I am  running OPENSTEP on an Axil 320 (SPARCstation 20 clone) with 416M 
of  memory and a 60MHz SuperSPARC processor (sadly OPENSTEP (at least the  
version that I have) only supports one of the two processors in the  
system). The system runs OPENSTEP very well.
