[Stuff about NeXTs on campus and bad bookstore policy]

Well, the University of Maryland at College Park just announced they will  
replace the VAXstation 2000s in the Workstations at Maryland public labs with  
NeXTstations.  The exact number isn't known, nor is the timeframe, but there  
will be a healthy number of them (there are 44 VAX2000s out there, 20ish empty  
slots earmarked for NeXTs, plus some others floating around...).

Not sure about NeXT sales to undergrads or faculty, but a friend of mine and I  
ordered them the day after they were announced, and the total number of order  
is probably somewhere in the 50 - 100 ballpark over the past 10 months, if not  
higher.

I like. :-)
