     Many are.  It's a nice package.  If I had the cash for an A3000,
 I'd have to seriously consider a low-end Next.  I'd lean toward the
 A3000 because I'm already into the system, and I despise the artsey,
 new-age, bohemian <%&*#^&@!!> image they are trying to market.  Even
 worse than the Macintosh.  I want a computer, not a "cube".

     Aside from that, hardware to hardware, it is an attractive piece.
