Yes, you're wrong.  Here are some of the VARs announced on Sept. 18.  There
probably have been more added since then:

  ESL (subsidiary of TRW)
  Wheeler Hawkins
  TransGraphics Systems
  Toltec Human Services (medical)
  Synapsis Corporation
  Configurations, Inc.
  
On the software side, PC Connection has formed NeXTConnection for low-price
volume sales of NeXT software.  

NeXT is also in direct marketing, as I mentioned.  They have made same 
large-sized sales to businesses and govt. agencies by selling directly.
