I have got a lot of angry mail because I wrote this. O.K. I admit that I

Yes. If you want to change the 68040 and DSP for color then Amiga could
be the way to go. I was just wondering if many students etc. really
need desktop video. Well, of course in this newsgroup the percentage is

BTW, is NeXTStation Color much more expensive than the A3000UX? (In
educational?) Other main area for all NeXTs is computer music and
digital recording studios.
