  I am seriously considering purchasing a NeXT machine and was a little
dissapointed to go down the the campus computer store (MIT) and find that
the prices are a few hundred dollars more than I remember from last fall.

  In particular the base 25mhz 8meg 105mb disk was $2820 but you need
to add a monitor which is $750 for grey scale. Thats $3570 for the
absolute minumum setup.  A more resonable setup 33Mhz 250MB drive
and 8MB memory is another $475.

  Given the time of year I thought it possible that NeXT might be
rolling out a promo for the new scholl year as well as to dump all the 
slabs before the RISC machines come out (I assume they won't come out 
before Christmas).

 Does anybody know of a better deal on NeXT machines or have any info
of impending sales events?


  Many thanks,
    Chuck@pierre.mit.edu
