The NeXTstation is bundled with a lot of useful apps, networking
software and hardware, and Mach.  I'm not the average consumer, but
bundling Unix is enough to make me look really hard at the
NeXTstation.

If I knew I could buy Amiga Unix at a _reasonable_ price some time in
the future, I would reconsider the 3000, since I have a considerable
investment in the native Amiga environment.  But until then, thumbs
down on the 3000.

Actually, protected virtual memory for AmigaOS would be enough to keep
me from jumping ship, but then again, I've had a lot more Amiga
experience than the average person about to choose between a 3000 and
a NeXTstation. :-)

(If GNU was further along, that would do it too. :-/ )
