	Maybe  you really don't WANT a NeXT.  There are other nice boxes out
	there that don't use Display PostScript (e.g., Amiga) but do have UNIX
	available and do provide a GUI when you want it.  The NeXT is all about
	NeXTstep and Display PostScript.  It takes memory but it's fast and
	it's elegant (I think so, anyway).  But it may not be just what
	you're looking for.  Sure is nice, though, and I suspect that if you
	look into it, you'll find the speed is fine (on the 040's) and 
	NeXTstep has a lot more to offer than any other GUI you've seen.

	Hope you'll agree and, if so, welcome to the world of NeXT enthusiasts.
