My opinion is that its performance, price, and user interface are all
somewhat better than those of the Mac.  But not enough better to warrant
changing to a new computer.  There is far less software.  I don't see
any feature of the NeXT machine or its OS that Apple would have much
trouble adapting to the Macs, should they find it desirable.  So far
from NeXT pulling farther and farther out in front of Apple, which they
will have to do to achieve what I imagine are their long term goals, I expect
Apple to catch up and even pass them in the relatively near future.
