This week's issue of Mac Week (Sept. 24, I guess) had a really
interesting table comparing the price of a NeXTstation vs the
price of an equivalent Mac. The NeXTstation, 8MB ram, 105MB HD,
68040, mono-display, floppy, Unix/Mach, and bundled software
at $4995. An equivalent Mac, 40Mhz fx, AUX, high-res graphics card,
etc. (I don't have the chart in front of me now and don't remember
all the Mac details) priced at $13,000!!!!!

NeXT, what a great deal.

Sal.
