Really? Well, I must ask what it is you're doing with them :-) I finally
got my hands on a NeXT 040/25 Cube, saved from the dumpster. Someone had
written "TRASH" in permanent black marker over every one of its six
surfaces. As it turns out though, the only thing wrong with it was that
the internal SCSI cable was unplugged from the drive. Cosmetically it
leaves a bit to be desired, but it's a nice performer since I've upgraded
it to 64MB of RAM.
