The latest "Personal WorkStation" magazine, in an article on
GUI's, estimated the installed base of NeXT's was 5000
(= $50 million in sales, roughly). It said NeXT was not a major
player in the workstation market, but seemed to be carving 
out a niche as a machine for the corporate elite who will pay
any price for a suitable platform for special purpose software.
(I guess this is their interpretation of the recent deal of 250
NeXT's for an ad agency.)
