	Depends on the CPU. If it's limited to 1/4 meg, (say an 11/34,) then
	max memory 10 is a little crowded, (although we managed 32 users on
	an 11/45, albeit some of the ports were just printers, etc.)

	Depends on operating system, load, what users are doing. 10 editors
	is a lot different from 10 people doing compiles and TKBs.

	The answer to all the above is scrounge, scrounge, scrounge.
	There should be a lot of stuff going at .edu sites. Also look
	for someone who has a copy of "The Processor", a mag listing many
	used dealers.

	As far as a NeXT is concerned, max memory is not enough for most
	applications, and a 100 meg hard drive will fill up in 2 days.
