I asked Mike Slade at NeXTworld about the 40000-60000 estimate and he said
that were not bad estimates. If both are not bad around 50000 would be the
case. But I suppose 40000 is better.

That means that the machines would have been sold for around 120M/40000 is
$3000 a piece. Since large parts of sales were either education or large
accounts I think that these figures are not very far off.

I am of course totally wrong and history will vindicate me ... ;-)
