At the old university discount price for Mac II's we were able to purchase
Mac II systems with 8 meg of memory and a third party 90 megabyte drive
for about 7000.  This is of course completely without softare, except for
Hypercard and the Mac OS, which I regard as barely passable.  Thus, comparing 
the NeXT discount price to the Mac discount price still makes the NeXT machine 
look like a very good deal--assuming, of course, that the price really 
stays where it is when it starts shipping.  (By the way, we are still waiting
for most of our memory.)
