Will there be special pricing for university students on the new WordPerfect for the NeXT? Any information would be much appreciated. Thank you, ...Paul Lu (paullu@cs.ualberta.ca)

Here's what a WordPerfect salesman told me: $495 list $395 educational for personal purchase $495 for 8 right-to-use, educational for genuine instructional use. This price schedule reflects their philosophy for edu pricing for the PC version as well, though in the case of the NeXT the "personal purchase" cost is disproportionately high.

You'll buy it for whatever price you can find, and then send in a card for a $100 refund. Jacob -- Jacob Gore Jacob@Gore.Com boulder!gore!jacob

I was told by a WP salesman that the Ed price is $100 off of "retail", which can depend on the retailer. I think one gets a coupon from WP. The salesman expected the actual retail price to be more like $250 from BusinessLand which would bring the Ed price down to $150. He said that this is the way they handle Ed sales of DOS WP. WP used to sell direct to students/staff for $125 but they don't do that anymore.

In talking to the folks at the Ohio State computer store, it appears that this deal will apply to all systems MS-Dos, Mac, and NeXT. They are trying to give the SCHOOLS/DEPARTMENTS a good deal but avoid channel conflicts with their other dealers. Tyler
