   I thought that the reason that NeXT required universities to buy a
couple of machines and send people to camp was to give support.  I mean
the kind you get when you call ATT or DEC and ask questions, like "Where
is it in the manual?" or "Can you tell me how to?"  You say "any NeXT
service center."  Do you mean university computer centers that are in
on the NeXT deal, or is there some other kind of NeXT service center?
