I have a hard time believing that NeXT is not taking a bath on the
NeXTStation I (academic price, ~$3400) system.  Can someone do an
economic analysis to show why next is not dumping this machine on the
computer market?  Whenever I try to imagine the OEM of the component
prices, I always get a $4500 total manufacturing cost.
