At the old university discount price for Mac II's we were able to purchase Mac II systems with 8 meg of memory and a third party 90 megabyte drive for about 7000. This is of course completely without softare, except for Hypercard and the Mac OS, which I regard as barely passable. Thus, comparing the NeXT discount price to the Mac discount price still makes the NeXT machine look like a very good deal--assuming, of course, that the price really stays where it is when it starts shipping. (By the way, we are still waiting for most of our memory.) --
