   The NeXT market is currently very small.   New business ventures need
either lots of capital or immediate sales.  If you don't have good backing,
you'll most likley be eating alpo.

   The building/distribution is the smallest element. Marketing is the the most
expensive item, followed by support, and then development. Get some friends
in business school to help with a business plan before you make any real
commitment.
