- That is one of the most counter productive moves I have seen NeXT make (I
- should know, my school just cut off all ties with NeXT 8( ) Does NeXT not
- realize that Universities train all the graphic designers, publishers,

- In my view, the elimination of higher-ed markets is a foolish, short-sighted
- move (FWIW)...
