This includes the Extended version and so forth. I spoke to a rep today and asked the same thing (about how to get the apps) and he said that they could be mailed to me and I would have to pay for the media (no specific price, 90-100's ballpark). He also suggested that I come into the regional Next office and have it transfered (no cost mentioned). The last alternative was to get them from my student reps. We shall see. I have a few questions: what is the average price for applications? Also, what other GNU stuff has been ported? How much space will X take up? Is WP avail yet and if so how does it compare to its PC,MAC and Amiga versions? What release is it? Anybody that can answer these questions and offer any other vital information to a future Next owner will be looked upon as a stud(ette). Alexei Rodriguez
