You're missing an important point here.  The NeXT comes bundled
with all sorts of functionality that has to be added on to Macs
or PCs.  It seems that every month there's a deluge of shareware
and commercial products for "toy computers" that doesn't do
anything that isn't _standard_ on the NeXT.  One of the reasons
there aren't "hundreds of add-ons" for the NeXT is that THEY'RE
JUST NOT NEEDED.  And if someone wants to reinvent a wheel for
profit, they have to do a better job than what's already there
"for free."
