TOTALLY bogus!  Ither that, or the price list sheet that our NeXT rep
had with 4!! different discount pricing schemes was bogus.  Maybe they
meant that your school only has one price, which would be true, as
it's tied to how many/much$$ your school is committed to NeXT.

>Our price, by the way, is around $3900.  Hummm...

Looks like you are getting the basic discount plan, ie: your school
didn't commit to purchasing ANY NeXT's.
