Mathematica has not completely stopped in the USA.  It's still bundled in  
for educational customers, though I believe that industrial customers don't  
get it bundled in anymore.  My understanding (which might be better  
described as rumor) is that Mathematica should still be bundled in for new  
educational purchasers until the end of this year, at least.  Possibly  
longer, but I doubt it.

Note that while it's bundled in with the purchase of a new NeXT, it does  
come as a separate package.  So it won't be on any CD-ROM's (it isn't on the  
Release 2.2 CD-ROM, never mind the Release 3.0 one).
