Will we eventually see the NeXT machine in Australia ? If yes.. come someone give me some details (ie when who where etc) If no.. What is NeXTs' policy on personal import (ie can I get one shipped out to me ? if so are power conversions practical ? I am very keen to get one of these machines We can't have you lucky Americans having all the fun now can we :-) Thanks in advance Ralph Schwarten Dept.

Re power, the NeXT runs on anything from 90 to 270 volts, 47 to 63Hz, according to the specs (although the back of the cube says a slightly narrower range, 100-240 volts at 50-60 Hz), so all you'll need is to cut off the mains plug and install the proper one for your outlets (2 round pins as I recall). The NeXT laser printer is switch-selectable to 115 or 220 volts, 50-60 Hz, so once again a new plug should do it.
