- Computer Attic is a bad metric. They never had their heart in the
- NeXT to begin with; I don't even know why they bother to fly the banners.
- They aren't interested in selling the computers, and will tell you
- that if you try to buy from them. They wouldn't even stock our software
- on consignment, where they had no risk if they didn't sell any. Too
- much hassle for them or something....
-
- A better place to go, for totally the opposite experience, is MacAdam
- computers in San Francisco. They're rabid NeXT enthusiasts, although
- they sell Macs, too (obviously, given their names). They have put
- together some very aggressive pricing and promotions for NeXT computers,
- and they're moving a LOT of them, by most reports.
