I am, quite frankly, very >disappointed with the A3000UX pricing. I have to agree. A $4000 educational price for the cheapest unix 3000 doesn't seem competitive to me. What's the educational pricing on the NeXTstation (did I get the stupid capitalization right?) Mono? Under $3500? I don't want to compare the two machines, but I just sold my 2000, and I was seriously considered buying a 3000. But I could run UNIX on a 386 MUCH cheaper. In all, I'm pretty disgusted with the situation and I'll be holding on to my 3 grand. >James A. Crotinger Lawrence Livermore Natl Lab // The above views >jac@moonshine.llnl.gov P.O.
