   think about it.

I can understand why they are trying to *force* the rest of us to buy
a NeXT.  Until NeXT gets a significant user base, they won't get the
wonderous software.  They try to get us to buy machines that may or
may not suit our machines so that the vaporware may materialize.

   I like my mac.  It does everything I want it to.  Now tell me, why should
   I change right now?  Uh oh, I can see another thread developing! :-)

I considered buying a NeXT.  But I didn't know what I would do with
the DSP, Ethernet, etc. at home.  All I was getting was a 17 MIPs
monochrome UNIX machine.  If I want that, I can come into my office.
Oh wait, no I can't.  I have a color workstation in my office. :-)
