 This seems to contradict the reason the 9600 V.32 modem was not included
 with the machine; i.e., because doing so would violate certain laws in
 other countries which stipulate that modems (and other devices which use
 telephone lines) be controlled, distributed, etc., by the governments.
 Next's decision to make available an addon box for the phone connection
 was to defuse this possible obstacle to foreign distribution of their
 workstation.

Perhaps what Jobs meant was that he wouldn't export the cube beyond campus
borders :-).
