Hiya -
	I was just on the phone talking to two places trying to see if
they have academic prices for their NeXT stuff. One was good, the other
not. :-(
	SoftPC *does* have an academic price. It's apparently $299.40 
(the real world price is $599) and they *are* shipping. :-) 
The number is 415-694-7600, ask to speak to "Leslie."
	PLI *does* have a academic price. It's apparently $439 (down from
$499). This ain't too good since NeXTConnection has it for $449+$3 shipping
and PLI has $10 shipping. :-( :-( Phone PLI directly for this one.

	The above info is just to save people about .50c on long-distance
calls. Both companies were real nice to me too. :-)  Too bad PLI doesn't
have  a better deal, I think I'll go with NeXTConnection since (oh yeah
forgot to mention it) PLI will also stick on sales tax (while I think
NC doesn't).  
	I have no relationship to the above companies except that I will
soon be a customer of SoftPC now and one of PLI in a couple of weeks
when my paycheck comes in. ;-)
