Except, of course, if the market is flooded with orphaned NeXTs.  Remember
that the business world does _not_ share your optimism about NeXT's

Also, even if NeXT is still producing computers three years down the line
_and_ they support their old machines, the slab will likely depreciate more
than just $2000.  Computers are as bad as cars in that respect.
