	Mike! Mike! You've got to say that quite clearly! 8-)
Considering that the NeXT Dimension board, whenever it is
released, will cost $1,500 or so, and that it also won't run on
the slab NeXT but instead will require the expandable NeXT which
is, I believe, about $2,000-$3,000 more expensive, AND it will
require the color monitor, which is about $1,000 more expensive,
we're talking about $5,000 more than the $3,200 or so educational
price that you love to keep quoting.

	BTW, I'd quote it too if I were praising the NeXT. 8-)
