- Mathematica has not completely stopped in the USA. It's still bundled in
- for educational customers, though I believe that industrial customers don't
- get it bundled in anymore. My understanding (which might be better
- described as rumor) is that Mathematica should still be bundled in for new
- educational purchasers until the end of this year, at least. Possibly
- longer, but I doubt it.
-
- Note that while it's bundled in with the purchase of a new NeXT, it does
- come as a separate package. So it won't be on any CD-ROM's (it isn't on the
- Release 2.2 CD-ROM, never mind the Release 3.0 one).
