Hey, I just saw and use my first NEXT machine today. The machine did not 
impress me.  It is extremely slow (display postscript), and the floptical
drive is as slow as a floppy (now that's slow!!!).  VERY nice display (B/W),
but as we all know: the look of a computer is the last thing to take into
account.  the guy had a flight simulator on it, and it moved (no joke) about
as smooth as my 4.77 Mhz bridgeboard.  I do hope though that Open Look is as
nicely implemented as the Step seems to be.  Otherwise, as most of my
colleges have said: It's mostly hype.
