Re: NeXT dimension board -
A number of people sent (edu) pricing information when I asked about it here.
Some at least were not clear about whether the (median) price of 
$3,500  included a monitor or whether that (as I assume) is another
$2K.   $5,500 is a bit more than I can get support for at this point.

OK, unconfusion time.  The $3,500 price is edu/developer price *for the
ND board only* (hence the complaints about its *high* price).  List
price was $4,995 last time I checked.  And yes, figure about $2,000
for a good monitor.  Sure, the 17" Philips monitor NeXT sells is only
about $1,000, BUT it's so bad you're best off getting either the big
NeXT color monitor (21" Sony, I think) or a third-party monitor that
can handle the NeXTdimension's video output: 61 KHz horizontal scan
rate; 68 Hz vertical scan rate, 1280x1024 resolution.
