I was told a while ago that volume purchasers (i.e. gov't and big  
corporate orders) get very big discounts, often negotiable. Therefore,  
they probably pay much less than retail ... may even be close to academic  
discount. Those big volume purchases probably accounted for most of the  
NeXT machines sold during during the last year. After all, didn't Steve  
Job mentioned in the keynote speech that 80% of the sales are now outside  
of the academic market?
