In an effort somewhat related to NeXT, I have talked with some
of the folks organizing some of the business arrangements for NeXT.

It sounds like the exclusive initial *targeted* NeXT market is administrators
and faculty of universities.  In time they will expand their market
to include students, and I assume normal people as well, but not initially.

I doubt this precludes other university people (like for instance, students)
from buying one, but they are going to be initially expensive and there
won't be many of the machines available.

I would really like to get one of the machines.  The more I hear, the
less I think I will be able to.  This certainly doesn't sound like a
machine for the rest of us.
