Sorry, wrong. When I complained about Berkeley, this was NOT the complaint I had. The campus consultants are GREAT. They don't sell the machines, however. They work independently to provide info about the NeXT to prospective customers. The clerk/order form people are the ones who are not knowledgable about the NeXT, and unfortunately it is these people you have to deal with in placing your order and following up on it. Try not to generalize so much: I'm sure everyone who had problems with their edu store had slightly different problems. Eric (still waiting for my NeXT...)
