Greetings,

I do not regularly read this news group, but I have become curious
about the NeXT machine.  I am thinking of buying one.

Here's the question.  What do you experienced NeXT users think of the
cube?  Does it perform well?  Is the software stable?  Would you buy
another one if you had the choice?  Also, I am working on my master's
so do I get an educational discount, and if so, is the discount
significant?

I am interested in your personal opinions, because they will influence
by computer purchase.  I am fed up with DOS, love UNIX but cannot buy
a SUN.  Is the NeXT machine for me?


(As an aside, has anyone ported TeX over to NeXT? Or does NeXT make
TeX obsolete?)
