I guess these new prices mean Mac users can now say $4995 for a 68040
NeXT is too much.  I never realized that Apple's prices were so high.
Notice the previous price of a 4MB/80HD SE/30.  

The NeXT bomb comes when Apple releases their 040 machine with builtin
ethernet.

Are these NeXT prices academic or list.  They look like academic prices to me.
If they are this is not a fair comparison, it should either be list or academic
for both not a mixture.  I suspect that the NeXT prices will still be cheaper
than the Mac prices but the situation is much better now.  However I would
like to see the Mac prices even lower, but I guess that goes without saying.

No, he posted the price of the NeXT without the monitor and keyboard.
I think the NeXT monochrome normally costs $4995 with everything, and
the color station costs $7995($2000 monitor).  By the way, the color
NeXTstations were officially released yesterday.
