But, for businesses, NeXT prices are NOT cheaper than MAC II prices.
Yes, the LIST prices are comprable.  If I buy all my hardware from
Apple at list and all my software at list, then the NeXT is cheaper.
But most businesses do NOT buy at list.  We get about 32 % off on 
Mac hardware, and buy all our software from places like MacWarehouse
and MacConnection at 30% - 40% below list.  Currently, BusinessLand
does NOT discount NeXTs, even if you want to buy lots of them.  So,
in the real world, a comprable Mac is cheaper.
