   Sure it does, just run Amiga UNIX.  You get all that, and the standard AT&T/
   Motorola 680x0 UNIX ABI.  NeXT OS doesn't have the architectural speed of the
   AmigaOS.  With an '30 or '040 based Amiga, you have your choice.  And you can
   even get a place for add-in cards in that $4000 system.

But you can't run Unix and the AmigaOS at the same time.  Don't you
lose the advatage of having the current crop of Amiga apps being
available?  And all your graphics programming must now be done in X.
