Further they have a server machine (a 040 cube) and two slabs for the staff. The Geophysics department has 5 cubes (all upgraded I think) and is planning to buy more (soon to include a NeXTdiemnsion). Further ther are numerous slabs in other department offices (10 or more). And I know of several students and faculty that have bough a machine. One departmet is thinking about replacing their IBM PC's with NeXT for teaching classes (FORTRAN, Graphics...). And that would be another 5 machines or so. Our Bookstore does not keep any machines in stock, and it takes about 2-6 weeks to get a machine. And they charge about 15% on top of the price charged by NeXT Inc. Support (Hardware) is handled by a service depot in the Computing Center (we have a licenced techician). Hope this help Mike -- /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ No user serviceable part inside. Warranty void if opened modified or tampered with. No batteries included. *
