This "sign" at the University (of Washington) bookstore has been
placed there fairly recently.  We were the first people to buy a NeXT
through them and that certainly was never mentioned (yes, we have it
at home).  So we asked a bookstore employee about it and he said that
NeXT was in the process of getting its certification for home use.
Also, the sign was placed there because of complaints from competitors
who want the U Bookstores student customers or something.  No, these
competitors wouldn't give the educational discount.  Not that the
University Bookstore gives you the best discount.  So, in a nutshell,
I was told to ignore the sign as it was there to placate the
opposition.

And we've never had a problem with electronic interference from our
NeXT.  From our z19 on the other hand...
