|Oh no! Say it ain't so!!!
|
|You Macsters need to talk me out of this one! I'm actually seriously
|considering defecting to the NeXT camp and buying one of their 040
|machines. Why should I get a IIci with A/UX instead of a NeXTstation?
|
|Please help me.
|
|I've fallen, and I can't get up!!

	I'm an Amiga owner, but I'll help you anyway.  a) Wait until the 040
is out of beta testing at the very least; they've still got bugs to squash.
b) Word is you can't even GET a NeXTStation until February- they're backlogged
with orders.  c) I'm no big fan of A/UX, but it looks like a more useful 
version of Unix than what NeXT is fobbing off.  d) If you've got a Mac, you 
won't have to abandon all your old software; you'll be able to run it without
changing machines all the time.  e) Who wants to be the only person in 20 
miles to own a NeXT?
