I've looked at the NeXT. I like it. I'll like even better with color, more speed and a lower price. Except for games and MIDI, the NeXT already has software in every major classification that's far superior to anything available on the ST, despite the ST's five-year head start. One rumor a year or so ago suggested that the TT would be a low-cost NeXT clone, even built on the same assembly lines. I wish. -- Steve Yelvington up at the lake in Minnesota The easy way: steve@thelake.mn.org The hard way: {plains,rutgers,apple,cray}!umn-cs!thelake!steve
