I'm not sure where I should ask these questions. And if Peter> this is the wrong group, please just ignore this message. OK, no flame. And, not *the* wrong group -- simply far too many. Anyway, by all means get a NeXT. It's complete, integrated, designed to be a UNIX box, has *UNIX* applications, etc. No need to put things together from 27 sources and wondering why it won't work. As a bonus, it's cheaper than a 386 box and faster than 486 box. Also, GNU tools and other free software has already been ported, etc, etc. Just my opinion. /Lars -- Lars Fischer, fischer@iesd.auc.dk | Beauty is a French phonetic corruption CS Dept., Univ. of Aalborg, DENMARK. | - FZ
