- I would just like to clarify for your benefit of the newgroups, that have had
- NeXT Summer Sale postings over the last month.
-
- Firstly, it is not NeXT Computer Inc. that is selling these systems, it is
- a friend in California selling a stock of secondhand units one of which was
- purchased by myself last year.
-
- Since I had to source NeXTs all the way across the Pacific I felt that it
- was important to assist others that may wish to purchase the innovative
- NeXTstep computer environment.
-
- I thought the policy of AARNet was to have us all work together, keeping like
- minded people in touch across the globe, so everyone has an opportunity to
- get the computer system they wish to perform their work upon.
-
- Since some of the groups I posted to have great daily turnover, and it was
- Xmas time, I would hate to have missed this oppportunity if such a computer
- was on my purchase list.
-
- Basically, if you disagree with such activities then use the 'n' key and move
- onto the following posting and leave it to those who want a NeXT, which by my
- response list numbers near on a hundred interested persons.
-
- Regards
