ATTENTION! I WANT *YOUR* OPINION!!  YES, *YOU*!!

I'm considering buying either:

	(a) An Amiga 3000 for roughyl $2500, or
	(b) A NeXTStation for roughly $3300.

I'd like some opinions as to the merits of each machine (other than
simply specs...  We all know those).  Some possible areas include:

	-- Satisfaction of the NeXT as well as NeXT, Inc.
	-- Ease of use (I'm a C.S. Major;  I can handle UNIX).
	-- Availability of quality software (and price).
	-- Usefullness of each machine (or simply one of them).

In other words, I JUST WANT SOME ADVICE!

I need a machine for my personal use:  budget-keeping, word-processing
(TeX/EMACS is fine), programming, entertainment (the "G" word),
telecomunications, etc.  Obviously, being a C.S. major UNIX experience
is a valuable asset.

Thanks, all...
