I talked to NeXT about selling the computers myself but (rightly so) it is a big pain for a little independent guy like me to get registered with NeXT to sell and anyway I can't do the volume that NeXT would need to give me any sort of reasonable price. So I am reduced to sending my clients to my competitors (the bigger consulting houses). But if NeXTConnection sold boxes I could have my clients buy from then and I'd still be the guy that would install and maintain the boxes. I vote YES. Ted Shelton ems@gsbsun.uchicago.edu
