I phoned our local BusinessLand just to see what "Retail" prices were
for the NeXT machine, since our University states it has niether the time
nor the resources ($$/people I assume) to support the NeXT on campus here
at UNCC.  This is what the current prices are for two configurations:

6955.65 -- BASE system with 256Meg optical drive an 40 Meg swapper drive.

9500.00 -- BASE model as above but with additional 330 Meg hard disk.

It seems to me that I DO have a reasonable place to get a cube after all.

Doesn't it cost the University 6500.00 just to stock a base cube?  Let alone
selling and supporting the machine to students without losing money, it seems
to me that Universities need to charge somewhere around the 6955 figure anyway.

Oh boy hold me back, as soon as I sell my Mod-80 PS/2 I'm running downtown!!
