1. As soon as AT&T gets its act together, A3000UX's will be out in force.
2. Display PostScript is the best way to slow your system down to a crawl.
As was once said -- "Only NeXT could make the 68030 run like a 68000..."
3. And the bundled software is the ONLY software you'll be seeing for the
NeXT for quite a while. But once software is available (hmmm... installed
base 10,000... could be a while) you'll have the privilege of paying
about ten times what an Amiga owner would pay for the same quality stuff.
4. Who cares?

Felix, me friend, you've been had. Well, have fun with your bundled software.
