I'm not all that familiar with the NeXT so I casually picked up NeXT WORLD. I
just would like to know why would someone put out $5000 to get a "low-end"
NeXT with a 105MB hard drive that has a "trimmed down" operating system taking
up 70MB of it! Also, the NeXT would be a much better machine if anyone
produced software for it that people had heard of (aside from Lotus). I'm not
saying down with NeXT and Macintosh forever, but, let's see a really good
Macintosh emulator and a lighter monitor (70 pounds!!!!) and a "real" OS (70
megabytes!!!!????) and then we'll see if it's worth the 5000.
