- I am seriously considering purchasing a NeXT machine and was a little
- dissapointed to go down the the campus computer store (MIT) and find that
- the prices are a few hundred dollars more than I remember from last fall.
-
- In particular the base 25mhz 8meg 105mb disk was $2820 but you need
- to add a monitor which is $750 for grey scale. Thats $3570 for the
- absolute minumum setup. A more resonable setup 33Mhz 250MB drive
- and 8MB memory is another $475.
-
- Given the time of year I thought it possible that NeXT might be
- rolling out a promo for the new scholl year as well as to dump all the
- slabs before the RISC machines come out (I assume they won't come out
- before Christmas).
-
- Does anybody know of a better deal on NeXT machines or have any info
- of impending sales events?
-
-
- Many thanks,
- Chuck@pierre.mit.edu
