The price of the NeXTcube dropped. Is this true? I thought eduational institutions can sell it for $7995. 2. The numbers don't add up for NeXTdimension. NeXTcube standard + NeXTdimension upgrade = $6900!! NeXTcube high-cap + NeXTdimension upgrade = $9485! I say we have a pretty good bargain here--or am I missing something obvious? The info did not say whether the NeXTcube high-cap had 8 or 16 MB of RAM...although SIMM prices are not a major problem these days (~$45 for 1 Megabit X 8 chips @ 70ns is a very good buy).
