Dear Dan -
	I think that you should be aware that you are comparing Apples &
Oranges (or should I say Nexts), when you are comparing the full suggested
retail price of an Apple product to the preannounced discounted university
price for a Next product.  Given that the university discount from Apple
is from 40% to 50% the price is much more in line.  Also, I question the 
suggested retail price put forward by the Wall Street Journal for the 
Macintosh IIx and for A/UX.
