Keep in mind this machine isn't going to be available to the general public and
business community in the foreseeable future. Only selected colleges and
universities, limited even in that respect. If and when NeXT should make the
decision to enter the public and business environments with this machine the
likelihood is the pricing will be considerably higher than what's been quoted
here.
