[comp.sys.next] Old cube or new cube?

fox@allegra.att.com (David Fox) (10/18/90)

Now that old cubes are selling at a discount, what are the pros
and cons of getting an old cube and upgrading versus getting a
new cube?  I've heard that the fan difection is reversed, and
the old cubes have the optical disk whereas the new cubes have
a floppy, but I'm rather vague on it all and perhaps someone
who really knows would summarize?

I recently saw that the old cubes retail around $9995. Has anyone
seen any educational prices for these old cubes.

Thanks,

Will

Along these lines:   Is there any reason I *shouldn't* upgrade?  
As I understand it, there are a lot of Apps not included in the
upgrade.  Will I be able to run the old Apps on the upgrade?
What would I be missing if I just kept 1.0 and lived with it?
