I think I read something in Personal Workstation which said that some co. was
going to come out with a Motif interface that ran Motif and other apps on the
NeXT...  Anybody heard anything similar?

I'm interested in the next, but I'm wondering about whether the platform is
going to survive.  Does anybody know how many and which applications are
available for NeXT right now?  What does NeXTStep have to offer over Sun's Open
Look?

Is the main reason to by a NeXT the price/performance ratio, or something I'm
overlooking?
