The NeXT may have all the Hardware to waste the Amiga, but what about
the software aspects.  NeXT has HARDLY the 3rd part software support
that the Amiga does.  3rd party developers are leary of writing NeXT
software, because frankly, if their program doesn't sell, this step
could make or break their company.  Thats why when you look for software
for the NeXT, ya basically only use Mathmatica and the builtin
compilers.
 
I'd take a system where software is being constantly being writtn for.
True, they may be just games, but they are better then playing with
the same old mathmatica program.
