I wish I was buying one.  Oh well.

However, some people who trust my opinion are buying low end NeXTStations,
which brings me to the following question:

Where are some guidelines for setting up a stripped down NS for straightforward
single-user use.  I heard somewhere that the administration software helps
users uninstall undeeded software---is this all it'll take?  At least for
a good while, my friends won't need mail, accounting, term(cap|info),
and probably lots of other stuff that resides on the 105MB disk.

Also, am I correct in assuming that the admin software is good at setting
up user accounts, archiving inactive directories, and backing up to
floppies?

Hmmm.  Any publishers out there.  I can write.  How 'bout a book targeted
at the low end, isolated, first time with Unix, NeXT User??
