Well, sorry to tell you this but the Next machine will only be sold
to colleges and college affiliated groups (research groups, etc).

So, there is no use complaining that the noneducational price will be
greater than the educational price since there is not one.

Of course, this is passing on second hand information since no one
at Next actually told me this :-)
