It;s not proving anything, I just have a few Q's about the Next. 1) What's the $$$$$ of one ot those Puppies? 2) What's this i hear about it being almost impossible to get one even IF ya had the $$$. (3 mo Backlog?) 3) Exactly what makes it soo cool? The only stuff i've seen about the NeXt is from an INFO mag. The main "Nifty" thin i i heard about was the DSP (Display Post Script) Monitor, (Just what everyone needs?), and a CD-Drive of some sort thae was to be REAL slow... What's new for it? I've seen about 12 of the machines, but they were all in a computer lab and it's not a "public" acess lab. Gee i don't remember seeing anyone using the lab either...... Well let's douse the flamage, and get some talk going. . -- yorkw@ecn.purdue.edu aka Willis F York aka Squid on IRC The only thing that Apple invented is the idea to borrow Xerox-invented ideas. (Hope THIS sig don't insult anyone!) :^)
