   Standalone in the sense of a home computer.  I'm really sure that the 
   average dude is going to want UNIX at home for his computer.  Or the 
   average student.

Why does it matter what's under the hood?  Anyway, the average student
is going to buy an IBM or Mac because he doesn't know any better.
More than likely, the student that buys the NeXT will be computer
literate.
