We have some NeXt's on campus and i have been to a couple of demos;
i thought that once the machines 'start showing up' up someplace, that
that implies that the bally-hoo'ed class of 'authorized university 
affiliates' could buy them.  It turns out that at UCSB, the purchasing
department is the only channel for orders and they will only order them
for departments, NOT for individuals.   So Jobs' famous exhortation:
"if they havent' got bread, let them eat cake, if they haven't got
cake, LET THEM ENROLL" doesn't cover all or even the majority of cvases!!!!!!
