Flame fodder :-) from the Amiga 3000UX "Short Take" in the Dec. Byte:
"...when you put it [an A3000UX] beside a NeXT or a Macintosh or a 386
workstation, the differences are in favor of the Amiga."

Personally, I think the NeXT's a really neat machine, with a lot of
good ideas that should be incorporated into the Amiga (many of which
have been in Kickstart 2.0 & Amiga Unix).  As to whether it is "better"
that's something that has to be decided by the purchaser.  For me,
I'd have to say that my A3000 is better because it satisfies my computing
needs better than a NeXT could, and at a lower cost.

Followups directed to alt.religion.computers, where they belong (well,
hopefully;  I've never redirected followups before, and I'm not 100%
sure that I got it right).
