There are a couple reasons why I would not buy a NeXT.  First is that
it really is not a computer that I would enjoy using at home.  I work
with UNIX all day and the last thing I want to do when I get home is to
see the same thing.  There are also serious games for the ST and the Amiga
that just will never happen on the next.  I know that some people will scoff
at this, but blowing away 50 buzillion aliens is a good way to blow off steam.
I tend to see the NeXT as more of a work computer than a fun computer. If I
want to do some serious number crunching, I'll do it at work.  If I want to
have some fun, I want that option.  Plus, UNIX can be a real headache.  Just
get a corrupted / partition and you know what I mean.
