Looked through _The_NeXT_Book_ this weekend...seems to be a very good
survey in a "Western Civ" in a semester way...it's not often that you see
the pin-outs for a machine's bus in an introductory survey.

The book really seemed to be targetted at a semi-technical to technical
audience that wants to know what the NeXT machine is all about without
having to buy it or sit through a sales pitch.
