Wait a minute - there's no way EVERYONE in the company
needs a NeXT.  If you oversell them on it and it turns into a
management and user mess, they'll be rather un-sold on
NeXT's.  I'd look at what people really need their machines for
first - if 3000 plain mono Xstations and 3000 NeXT's are the way to
go, then that's a better solution than more power....
