I object. I am also an undergraduate and have purchased a NeXT and hard
drive with my own money. There are others out there also, you are not
the only one.

I'm a developer also (remember LockScreen? (soon to be updated for 1.0))
but you won't be seeing much from me because I have a serious lack of

I think you will be seeing more and more students owning them soon, they
are just looking for the money right now.
