   Okay, you've warranted a correction.  You're an idiot for liking a
   next, a snob for buying one.  Come on, it's not really all that
   expensive.  As has been said before, if all you want is the 68040,
   don't get the 25mhz 3000, and save yourself a small bundle.  Because
   with the 68040 in, they will be identical.  And it's not too much for
   Ethernet...  Besides, the price of the NeXT has dropped over time.
   These peripherals on the amiga are still rather new.  Give us time,
   and we'll blow your butt off the face of the earth more than we
   already do...  Prices just need to drop, and once PP starts
   announcing, they won't stop.

You don't get any time!!!!!!  We are talking here and now.  Comparing
next years Amiga with last years NeXT isn't going to mean anything.
NeXT year we compare the 1992 Amiga with the 1992 NeXT.

   Maybe a studio apartment with rubber walls?  Come on, you know there
   is decent software for the Amiga, just nothing with the "name" of
   Ashton-Tate or Lotus on it.  DBMan V is great, and unlike the next
   dumb idea, weve got more softs available.

The Apple IIe has got lots more software too.
