  BUUUUUZZZZZZZ!!!!  Thank you for playing.

  I think you should come down from your NeXT superority complex and argue
with the facts, not lies.
  WE ALL KNOW that one (at a Univ) can acquire a IIsi for $3000 and a SE/30
for $2500.  Unless NeXT has made some drastic price cuts, I think you are
wrong.
  As for a II, which is no longer made, they go for about $3000 today, still
under NeXT and a IIci can be purchased for $5000, which is right with the
NeXT pricing.

  So NeXT time you post, please state the facts correctly.  Yes this is a
heated debate and you can get really infuriated (I know I have :), but let's
try and tell the truth, okay?

  Maybe this discussion should be moved to comp.religion or comp.not.the.truth!
