I can practically buy a new car for that. I think you have these mixed up. If you buy any computer for list then maybe you belong in the loony bin. :-) Seriously, if you want a Next and do not qualify for educational discounts then you can become a registered developer. Then you can purchase Next's at about a 30% discount. > The competitors for the NeXT in the real world cost O(2 grand). Where? If you list all of the hardware and software included in a Next you will find nothing on the market comparable for $2K. There are some in the same ball park as the Next.
