The price comparison is not interesting at all, since the only price quote
Jobs has given for the NeXT are prices for "higher education institutes".
Other companies like Apple offer considerable discounts to universities,
which makes the price difference much smaller.

In other words: private persons and companies will NOT be able to buy the
NeXT for $6500. (I only wish we could...)

Paul.
