Flash! Effective July 1, 1990, Businessland has significantly lowered their prices for NeXT's! The Optical Disk+40MB model is now $7,995 (down from $10,000), the NeXT Laser Printer is now $3,000 (down from $3,500), and a 330MB hard disk is now $3,000 (net readers will note third-party drives are substantially cheaper). Blank optical disks are stil $99, and 4MB memory is $1295. The above prices were cleared for public dissemination by Businessland in Houston. Anyone care to comment? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Walter C.
