The price lists from the UCLA Bookstore finally came out today.
The minimum model is $3449.

This brings up an interesting question.  Does NeXT, like Apple, limit
each student to buying one machine at a given University?

With these kinds of price differences between schools, it sounds like
it might be a good idea for students at high priced schools to have
friends at a low-priced schools buy their machines for them.

Is it possible?  If so, does any school have a lower price than
Stanford?  :-)
