The educational price of the NeXT varies from school to school. Arizona initially offered its NeXTstations for $2995 (I've heard though they've since jacked up the price to $3200). Many schools offer prices between $3200-$3300. Some have prices around $3500. If you can't find a local or regional educational NeXT dealer, you can buy directly from NeXT (if you're a student) for $3995. By the way, developers pay $3500 for the NeXTstations. To nitpick, it's 105 MB, not 104. The bw display has 1120x832 resolution and has 4 true graytones and is, thus, not actually "bw." It also has a 17" screen and comes with a built in microphone AND microphone jack. Color apps will run fine on a monochrome NeXT and vice versa, thanks to PostScript.
