There were NeXT slabs that were available from salvage circa 1998. They were likely the machines in the computing lab in Wells Hall, next to the language lab.

There were NeXT slabs that were available from salvage circa 1998. They were likely the machines in the computing lab in Wells Hall, next to the language lab. There were also a half dozen color turbo NeXT stations in Holmes Hall. Those machines were some of the nicest to work on Mathematica with. We also had installed the ISCA BBS client on those machines, before the remote telnet access was turned off. When were you at Michigan State?
