The price lists from the UCLA Bookstore finally came out today. The minimum model is $3449. This brings up an interesting question. Does NeXT, like Apple, limit each student to buying one machine at a given University? With these kinds of price differences between schools, it sounds like it might be a good idea for students at high priced schools to have friends at a low-priced schools buy their machines for them. Is it possible? If so, does any school have a lower price than Stanford? :-) - Trent Lange

...picked up the latest price lists from the Stanford Bookstore today.
[etc]
the minimum model is $3153.
The price lists from the UCLA Bookstore finally came out today.
The minimum model is $3449.
This brings up an interesting question. Does NeXT, like Apple, limit
each student to buying one machine at a given University?
I talked to the NeXT rep on our campus (UCSD) today and THEY said, "...we have
one price as our education discount." One can judge for one's self the
believeability of this statement.
Our price, by the way, is around $3900. Hummm...

One can judge for one's self the >believeability of this statement. TOTALLY bogus! Ither that, or the price list sheet that our NeXT rep had with 4!! different discount pricing schemes was bogus. Maybe they meant that your school only has one price, which would be true, as it's tied to how many/much$$ your school is committed to NeXT. >Our price, by the way, is around $3900. Hummm... Looks like you are getting the basic discount plan, ie: your school didn't commit to purchasing ANY NeXT's. -k
