I thought I'd mention that while I attended Oregon State
University a while back, they may have had the "ideal"
campus NeXT reseller for the following reasons:

1) There was always a NeXT machine on display (open for use)
2) They were always aware of current software/hardware
   versions and upgrades.
3) If they didn't know technical answers, they were quick
   to refer people to the campus NeXT rep.
4) While they didn't stock much, they *always* explained
   that they could order machines, and were *up front* about
   how long it would take to get in.
5) Complete catalogs were available, as were price and spec 
   sheets; they even gave away free NeXTworld mags on premiere
   issue day! 

Maybe other dealers/campus stores could take a lesson?
I've been a NeXT fan since day one, and probably always
will be, so it would be nice to see these campus stores
and local dealers push hard for NeXT.

Geez, Peter, thats quite a .sig!  I particularly like the
way you make blunt statements and provide such a wealth of
facts behind your opinions.  Thats just beautiful.
