To all those who have said that the NeXT software selection is limited.
Get a NeXT. You will be pleasantly surprised at what's already out there
in terms of software, both commercial and freeware/shareware.  There are
already more than a half dozen ftp sites for NeXT software.  The ones at
Purdue, Oregon State, and Maryland seem to be the most popular.

What is there already for the NeXT is already some of best in category 
across all comparable hardware platforms.  NeXT software often surpasses
Mac software in ease-of-use and is simply more powerful than Mac, PC, or
current Amiga software (it's amazing what a software developer will do 
when he knows that the minimum hardware configuration he needs to support
is 8 MB RAM, plus virtual memory, and at many more megabytes of hard disk
space.).  

The future of NeXT software is very bright.  Revolutionary product like
Lotus's Improv (check out October Byte) are coming out.  And the NeXT is
a software developer's dream in terms of ease-of-programming, the 
capability to build incredible interfaces, and speed of programming.

Please don't feel obliged to flame me for this all-NeXT posting.  I am 
merely responding to several anti-NeXT postings on these very issues
in this thread.
