- Wait a minute - there's no way EVERYONE in the company
- needs a NeXT. If you oversell them on it and it turns into a
- management and user mess, they'll be rather un-sold on
- NeXT's. I'd look at what people really need their machines for
- first - if 3000 plain mono Xstations and 3000 NeXT's are the way to
- go, then that's a better solution than more power....
