Greetings--

   I'm investigating the possibility of purchasing a NeXT for our student group,
however I'd like to hear back from actual NeXT users on how well the machine
performs at the UNIX level, which is what we'd be using it primarily for...

I have heard that the system will slow down considerably if more than 4 users
are attempting to use the system at the same time (we would be taking it as
far as it could go for multiple logins).  Basically how well the system works
from the UNIX end (only about 2-3 people would actually ever use the console).

Any and all information that you might feel is relevant to the question would
be greatly appreciated, as well as any information you may wish to include 
regarding dealings with NeXT the company, maintenance problems/quirks, software
problems/quirks/advantages, etc.

Treat me as if I know very little about this machine, because I do know very 
little (but would like to know more).

Many thanks,

   --Chris.
