About a month or six weeks ago I posted my experience with Wolfram and
Mathematica 2.0.4.5 for the NeXT, which seems to be quite different from the  
recent posts.  I called WRI's regular long distance number, told them that I  
had heard of a "thinner" version of Mma and asked how I could get it.  They  
were very responsive, and I received 2.0.4.5 in five days free of charge.  The  
password I used for my original version worked in the new version.  On my 8/100  
station it runs and loads significantly faster than the original 2.0 version.   
I'm happy about this, as I was seriously considering going back to the 1.2  
version, especially as I use Mma mainly as a programming language to handle  
lists and matrices, and not to deal with functions, integration, and so forth.  
Perhaps Wolfram changed their distribution policy after I asked.
