[comp.sys.next] Businessland firesale prices on 68030 cubes ...

lindahl@evax.arl.utexas.edu (Charlie Lindahl) (11/01/90)

All: 

This info came from a friend of mine who is a NeXT manager at 
Businessland. The prices are nationwide. I do not personally gain 
from the posting; I am simply a NeXT fanatic who was lucky enough 
to have one at work already and who'd like to see more folks be able 
to purchase them. 
 
I THINK that the first machines listed are without hard disks (check 
with your local BusinessLand rep).

I have some great news about pricing on the NeXT Computer!  I've found out 
that in order to free up inventory space for the line of new NeXTstation and 
NeXTcube computers, Businessland is dramatically reducing the prices of 
68030-based models of the NeXT Computer!

	Status	CPU	RAM	Storage			Price
	======	===	===	=======			=====
	Demo	68030	8MB	256MB Optical		$2,795

	New	68030	8MB	256MB Optical		$3,995

	Demo	68030	8MB	256MB Optical		$5,295
				330MB Maxtor 8380S

These are the original NeXT Computers, and each includes a NeXT Megapixel 
Display, all user documentation and >full warranty<.  Just add a 68040 
Upgrade to these systems for the most cost-effective NeXTsteppin' of the year!

There are a limited number of units available at these incredible prices. 
When  these demo systems are gone, so are the special prices.  If you've been 
waiting for the NeXT to become affordable, now's your chance!

I am having trouble finding Businessland reps-
  
  1) they are not listed in the Yellow Pages (Providence, RI)
  2) they do not have a 800 number listed with phone assistance

Could anyone help out here?  I'd really like to see if I can get a good deal out of this.  Thanks.

	I would like to know if there is any difference between the 68030
	(OLD) CUBE and the new 68040 CUBE after I upgrade the old cube to
	the new motherboard.  Are they exactly the same system after the
	upgrade (not worrying about the optical drive or the new floppy
	drive)?  What about the MegaPixel monitor?  Is it still the same as
	the first one?

	I would appreciate if someone could answer this ASAP.  I need the
	information to make a decision on how I'm going to buy my new
	NeXT!!!!!!  Please call me collect or e-mail any responses
	(although I prefer a phone call).
