- The US/Europe rpice differences are atrocious, but NeXT is no worse
- on this than any other company. try comparing mac prices, or even
- prices for DOS clones. Or, for that matter, on any electronic
- equipment.
- The following is true: if you are European, you can come to the US,
- take a two-week vacation, buy (say) a NeXT, bring it back to Europe,
- _pay_ the entry fee, and still have saved money overall over buying
- the thing in Europe.
