The NeXT wasn't designed for desktop use.  At least, not your 'normal'
desktop.  Who really needs a 25 Mhz desktop machine unless you are doing
some REALLY heavy duty stuff.


The NeXT is designed to be a low cost, highly graphically oriented
machine capable of operating as a Unix workstation over a distributed
filing system.  It is also aimed as a competitor against the Mac // line
as a high end "personal" (or "desktop", if you like) computer.  It is a
very powerful machine that is really nice to work with.
