Here is a little section of an article posted in comp.sys.next, for those of you who don't follow this newsgroup. Make your own comparisons between these policies and Apple's (including AppleCare): | My mouse and keyboard had been feeling unwell lately (too much | hacking on Cassandra) and I went to my local NeXT rep. at Cornell | to see how much it would cost to get them replaced: | Keyboard: $303.25 | Mouse: $135 | + shipping + New York's 7% | | Phew.... NeXT is making a hefty chunk with those.... Now I see | why a one year service contract is $800... (By the way, all these | prices are academic prices, multiply by a suitable fudge factor | for Businessland (try 150%)). -Michael -- Michael Niehaus UUCP: <backbones>!{iuvax,pur-ee}!bsu-cs!mithomas Apple Student Rep ARPA: mithomas@bsu-cs.bsu.edu Ball State University AppleLink: ST0374 (from UUCP: st0374@applelink.apple.com)
