[There are some responses to a previous posting about the new NeXT computers and the bundling of Mathematica. --smc] Mathematica continues to be bundled with the 2.0 operating system for the NeXT for educational purchases. Only if you buy outside a university are you missing Mathematica. The WRI 2.0 kernel will come with the NeXT 2.0 OS.

The only thing that has changed is business accounts will have to pay for it. -Bill- To: mathgroup at yoda.ncsa.uiuc.edu Subject: Re: Mathematica for NeXT, Unbundled Price Date: Mon, 26 Nov 90 12:35:21 -0800 From: otto at ECE.ORST.EDU >Subject: Re: Mathematica for NeXT, Unbundled Price > >One of the main motivating factors in our decision to buy some >NeXT computers in our department was the combined price/performance >factor considering that Mathematica was bundled (and hence upgrades, etc >would be forthcoming).

This is, of course, if you are upgrading to the extended version of OS 2.0. Otto Gygax Oregon State University Electrical and Computer Engineering
