Its interesting how the universities claim the added cost is due to the
support and set up of the NeXT itself.  Suppose I want to purchase a machine
free of support from the university.  Suppose I would agree to have NeXT drop
the machine of at my p.o. box at the University.  The machine should cost no
more than 6500 plus tax plus shipping.

Why is this NOT possible?

p.s. if I want to purchase an on site service agreement/support agreement, then
that would be my option.
