This is ridiculous. I have a software product. The potential market
is probably about 100 units. The hardware required runs to about
$60000. At your prices, I can expect revenues in the order of
$500 - $5000. Subtract dealer margin, taxes, support etc.
I invite the previous poster to make the start, develop some serious
software for the NeXT market and sell it at those prices. Then
see how well he eats.
