But then again, the NeXT isn't much of a Unix box.  The Unix consultants
I work with are quick to point that the NeXT "just happens to run Unix"
instead of being designed as a Unix box.  If you've used a Sun Sparcstation
or a DECStation, you'll know what I mean.  They don't cost _that_ much
more than a NeXT.
