The price was never 3000$. It was 2000$. Now it is less than 2000$ for
the general public. So ecpect it to be at least 30% cheaper for
academic pricing. Also the NeXT printer has a 400dpi resolution, most
standard PostScript printers have only 300dpi (which is called draft
mode on the NeXT printer...)
