NeXT had confused SO many of its customers (I was one of them untill last
time...) The price you listed are the price that NeXT SOLD to the distribuitors
not to you. Then these distribuitors will have to charge something so they
can keep their business growing.  If you can get a NeXT at the price you
listed, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!!
