|| When you get down to brass tacks, NeXT is giving you an order of magnatude
|| more features for your dollar than Apple (or IBM or Sun, i bet).  More
|| software (real applications, not just tools), better, faster, more versitile
|| hardware, and many times the future possibilities.  It was
|| wrong of the Wall Street Journal to misrepresent the facts Re: NeXT cost
|| comparison, but under the microscope, nothing changes.  The NeXT machine
|| has the bang-per-buck factor all to itself.

|I'm still a bit unhappy:  $6500 is *student* cost.  What about J. Random
|Hacker over here?  (I confess to a touch of lust....)

As Steve Jobs answered that question at the NeXT introduction:

		"Enroll."
