Yes, but in order to get a usable NeXTStation, it's something like $4200 
with a 200megger, and about $5000 with a 400megger.  The $3250 price is 
for the 105meg model, which just doesn't have enough space for the OS and 
all the applications.  The full extended OS, which comes with the C 
compiler and a bunch of other neatstuff won't fit into the cheap model. 
Oh, these are educational prices I'm talking about.  I hear for about 3K, 
one can get a SPARC IPC from SUN.  Or one can geta 3000 and spend the 
xtra 1K to get the '040 board...
