Next made several models. $350 is way high for the slabs, a bit high for
the mono cubes, and a good deal for the color cubes. The original cube is
probably the interesting one from a collector's standpoint, and they seem
to go for under $300. I've resisted the temptation to get one so far.
The software was more innovative than the hardware, and I believe you can
get NextStep (and GnuStep) for intel boxen.
