If you need a NeXT sell the MAC, if not don't. I personally like NeXT machines and think that the hardware is superior to MAC's, but that is IMHO (no flame wars just my opinion). 1 machine is not the be all end all solution to computing. Buy what suits your needs and not what suits someone else's, typically the two don't seem to be the same. This is why I own a 386sx with 100Mb of disk space, vga, 4megs of memory, midi card, etc. I also own a NeXTcube with 330Mb harddisk, OD, 12 megs of memory. They both suit my needs where a MAC. Amiga, or Arari wouldn't. So that means buy what YOU, YOURSELF need to get the job done. >what I should be doing, etc., so nix the IIfx >articles -- I'm keeping it. > >Sorry to annoy, It annoys me to the extent that you would let other people that don't know what your needs are tell you the kind of computer you already know you need.
