   Let's take this to c.s.next.  Macintosh discussions are routinely flamed in the
   Next group, so I'm not sure we should be reading Next stuff here.

   Just a thought...

Why not?  When I describe the NeXT computer to people, I tell them
that it is a "workstation class Mac."  I think that people who like
the Mac will also like the NeXT computer.  The NeXT is a great deal at
the moment(this may change after they hit it big time).  After all, a
Mac fx costs ~$5500 dollars and runs at 1/2 the speed.  Besides, when
it comes time to upgrade your Mac, you might find that it's cheaper to
buy a new NeXT instead. ;-).
