The Americo-centricity of this thread is irritating me to blazes.
I'm in Europe (pronounced "Yoorp").
We can't get NeXT's for these kinds of prices. I can't get a NeXT educational
discount at all (according to what I read). We still pay around $4000 for
SE/30's.

Please tell me how to buy a NeXT from my very own school. I'm interested.

Hope my subject line doesn't raise the temperature of this otherwise
nice civil discussion... I'm, er, what's the phrase? "Outta here."
