As far as the distribution system is concerned, the individual schools are responsible for setting up the distribution system and repair center for the NeXT machines they sell. I know that here at OSU, the OSU Bookstore is the campus distribution center and is pretty much autonymous from NeXT, other than they are obligated by contract to NeXT to supply service to the people they sell the NeXT machines to for a five year period from the date of sale. Of course, this could have changed in two weeks, or I could have heard wrong (never!) >2) Is this group going to expand to include additional schools any time soon? I don't know. Talk to the regional marketing director for your area. How you'll find them, I don't know either. Call NeXT, maybe. I saw a posting earlier with the snail mail address of NeXT, inc. in it. >3) Does the educational discount apply only to machines purchased BY the school > for the school's use, or will NeXT allow the schools to resell the machines > to faculty, staff, grad students... (pardon my uncontrollable drooling) At OSU, anyone who is a faculty or staff member (me!), a full or part-time student may buy one at the $6500.00 price. >Pat Flynn, Dept. of Computer Sci., Mich.
