[rescue] Re: NeXT cube question

Some people simply have no taste or respect for classic computing....

Thankfully these type of people didn't exist much back in the days
of PDP8, PDP11, etc....

"Classic VAX-11/780, upgraded to 2Gigahertz and IDE, 
be the only one on your block to have this classic screamer.
Note: 230V AC power required"
