    Are you talking about a NeXTstation or about an old NeXT cube? Comparing
the NeXT cube vs the NeXTstation is like comparing Apple's Lisa vs the first
Macintosh... one was very 'experimental', and the other is more 'streamlined'.
And both sets were done by Steve Jobs (he's definately got a talent for going
back to get things right!).

    BTW, it's very different using a Unix computer that is overtasked with
lots of other people using it and using one all by yourself...
