Since I am interested in doing software development on the NeXT platform,
I've been following this thread with particular interest. I've got a question:
Has anyone bought a system from Businessland or are most of you NeXT users
college students, etc. The Businessland in Cleveland, OH, has not sold a
single machine to my knowledge. When comparing price, everyone keeps
mentioning the educational price of $6500. Note that most people must pay
$10,000 for the machine. I personally feel that Businessland may have a hard
time selling a machine to a personal user who has the knowledge that his
buddy can get a NeXT computer and printer for $5000.00 less than he can.
