Why indeed??? If I want and Ibm, I'll buy an Ibm. I would much rather see NeXT
use whatever creativity Mr Jobs has assembled ( Which would be considerable if
precedence holds) and create a new, better machine. From what I have seen of
the NeXT cube, I like it. It is at presant, slow and clunky (esp the floptical
drive... clunk clunk clunk) and it has a lot of bugs, but, It has LOTS of 
potential. I would like to see what they can do with the 68040 chip. I am
impressed with what I have seen so far. If the bugs and so on can be cleaned
up, and the overall speed improved, NeXT will have a winner. I would imagine
that all of this will come with time.
