	To be more specific.  You must have at least 1 (but I think it is
2) people who are fully trained by NeXT on their products.  2 FULLY LOADED
NeXT computers used as parts for replacements, etc.  May ONLY sell to
"educational" people and facilities (high schools and lower forms of
education :-).  And to top it off, if the contract is to end, whether
NeXT decides to end it or you do, you MUST SUPPORT the NeXT computer for
FIVE more years!

These are some of the things I heard that was talked about at the
demonstation given at our University.
