Is it shipping in quantity? Is NeXT making a lot of money? Does
NeXT have a fighting chance? What kinds of quantities for 1991
are we looking at?

I have a hard time believing that NeXT is not taking a bath on the NeXTStation I (academic price, ~$3400) system. Can someone do an economic analysis to show why next is not dumping this machine on the computer market? Whenever I try to imagine the OEM of the component prices, I always get a $4500 total manufacturing cost.

As for the NeXT machine being OEM bath, component pricing is only a phase of a products price. The lowering of this cost comes from manufacturing. NeXT has some incredible manufacturing facilities. ---Gregory
