Dear all, I have a question about Pizza Box NeXT's. If I was to purchase one and I wanted to upgrade the OS to a newer version, what is the best or only way of doing it?? As I see it 150 3.5" disks is not my idea of upgrading :-). Shahryar -- 'The greatest of evils and the worst of crimes is poverty.' George Bernard Shaw--"Major Barbara"

My guess is that you will be gently forced into buying a CD-ROM. The cost of a CD-ROM player is a bit high but NeXT will probably provide some form of incentive for buying the CD-ROM version of the upgrade.

20MB floppies should be hitting the market anytime now. Users of
*all* brands of computers are going to jump on these, thus driving the
prices down in a relatively short period of time.
