In comparing the machines, you want the specs to match up. But what about the non-specs like the user interface. The NeXT's environment is much more professionally done than the Amiga. I feel that the NeXT's interface makes the Amiga's look like sh*t. If you want everything to be the same, how much more does the 3000UX cost with a 2.88 meg disk drive (or does it exsist???). Why don't you buy a Cray so won't have to defend your machine??? :-) PS. I don't own an Amiga or a NeXT (and not even an IBM) -- rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr r ___ _ "...but then there was the r r /__ | \ possibility that they were r r ___/hawn |__\ube LaRouche democrats which, of r r jsd@owlnet.rice.edu course, were better off dead." r rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
