I've been wondering for a while.  If someone is in school and buys a NeXT
computer at that institution, and then leaves that school, what happens to
the support etc?  Put another way, I presume that if one purchases a
computer from some school, you're kinda expected to have it serviced, etc,
at the local school computer store at least while it is under warranty.
So what happens if one leaves?  Can one take it to a businessland or a
computer attic to have it attended to if problems occurr or if upgrades
are due?
[ I ask all this because I'm contemplating returning to school, and also
dream that I might be able to get a NeXT while there...]

Please just forward any responses to me here at death@btr.com.  I doubt
this topic is worth any more bandwith than it's already taken.

Thanks!
