I'm writing this message to look for some information about the Next computer.
I know that this is probably a frequently asked question, so please don't flame
me for this... 8-)
I'm considering buying a Cube. Last week I visited Businessland in London where
I got some brochure and played with a Cube. Here are my basic questions:

	1) Is the Next comparable, or even better, to a Sun workstation?
	   In fact I intend to use it primarily as a scientific workhorse
	   and graphics software development system.

	2) Is Next Inc. in good financial health ?
	   The number of Nexts sold in the last years seems to be low compared
	   to other workstations like the Sun.

	3) Does Next give a satisfactory post-sale service in Europe (that's
	   where I live) ?

	4) Is there a Next dealer in Italy ? (Hey Next staff are you hearing?!?)

	5) Are there any happy/unhappy Next users in Italy?

I thank in advance anyone who replies. Please respond by e-mail, I will
summarize if of interest.
