Since you sold your Mac for the same price as your NeXT, and you claim
a rip-off, the question arises:  did you get more support for your Mac II 
from the microcenter?

Also, does the microcenter support any other UNIX boxes?

Just curious...but if the answer to both is not "yes", this
might account for some of the support cost.
