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.
