The reason that the Next was the first (or one of the first) companies to come
out with a '040 machine was because the machine does not use the chip it
fullest potentials, it didn't have to wait for he more sophistocated
functions to become bullet proof in order to run their machines.  The Amiga 
on the other habd (along with the rest of the world), is willing to wait 
for the '040 to be totally ironed out before sticking one in their
products, becuase they will use the '040 to it's fullest potential...

As for the Slab, I thought Steve Jobs would ahve learned from his first
real big mistake in making the original Mac unexpandable, but no, 
he comes out with the slab, and unexpandable well, slab...  Even the 
A500 (and the A1000) are far more expandable than the Slab, sure
NeXT has expandable machines, but, at what a price... yowzas...
Thank you no, I would rather spend $8000 on a couple of A3000 (and a 
500) instead of buying a NeXT cube (at educaional price) (my Amiga's
are at the educational price as well, but it they weren't, it would
be just the 2 3000's... (oh well))
