Compare NeXTs to Amigas, fine.  Don't compare 030 machines to
040 machines and expect to be surprised.  Amiga 3000UXs beat on
68030 NeXTs.  68040 NeXTs beat on 68030 Amigas.  

What one forgets is that the Amiga 3000 is all ready to accept
the 040.  It is my understanding that the A3000 was designed 
to optimize the 68040, and the '030 is there mainly because it
exists and the 68040 didn't.  Regardless, there are three 040
boards ready to plug and play and a motherboard 040 will not
be far behind, for Amiga.

Then compare 040 Amiga 3000UXs to 040 NeXTs, and see which ahs
an advantage.  Anything else is kinda stupid.  Recognized:  if
you can get an 040 NeXT in your local grocer's today, then NeXT
has the advantage in release date.

This is the wrong place to be attempting to "snow" people by
insinuating that Amigas are toys and NeXTs are machines right
off the bridge of Star Trek.  Not only is c.s.a. a relatively
computer-literate and well-informed newsgroup, we also know
quite a bit about the Amiga.

IMHO...
