I ordered my NeXTstation Colour 200MB from NeXT on May 30, and it was shipped on May 31. It was a Developer purchase direct from NeXT. The only thing on backorder is the 2.1 upgrade floppy set. So far, all my dealings with NeXT have been very satisfactory. And now for a little blurp on the NeXTstation Colour: Overall, I am very satisfied with the computer. The Philips monitor is quite nice (but I thought the Sony would be better). The performance is noticebly slower than my NeXT Cube 040 (030 upgraded) for screen intensive stuff, but with more RAM, the system can be much faster. 12MB RAM on the NeXTstation Colour is NOT enough for real work! The 200MB Quantum trashes quite a bit. Fortunately, the Quantum is a very fast drive. I will upgrade to 20MB (2 1MBx32 SIMMs) RAM at the first opportunity. Does any know of a good source (and going price) for the 1MBx32 SIMM? :-) Joe jchin@van-bc.wimsey.bc.ca -- Joseph Chin Wordcraft Systems Corporation jchin@van-bc.wimsey.bc.ca 201-434 West 12th Avenue (604)879-9687 (voice & NeXTfax) Vancouver, B.C., Canada V5Y 1V3 ********************* Registered NeXT Developer ********************
