I'm not sure I'd agree ... I don't even have a NeXT yet, but from what I've
heard on the net (and thanks to all who responded :-), the NeXT is _the best_
writing and desktop publishing platform around!

I'm looking at either a NeXT or a Macintosh ... but the Mac is *way*
overpriced and can't compete with the NeXTstation for performance.
Plus built-in Ethernet on the NeXT makes networking to PC's a snap.
