Yes, they have.  Workstations run Unix.  PC's don't.  That's the most
general comparison I can make.  I'd rather not get into specifics.
It's pointless.  We all know that the NeXT is being spoofed as a
Workstation, not a PC.  So the point is moot.

I hope you are.  Can you honestly say that you on your little NeXT has
anywhere NEAR as much software as a Mac?  Have you lost that puny,
miniscule mind you were so eagerly born with?  At least a person can
walk into a store and buy Amiga software anywhere in the US.

See the above, if that doesn't prove something, I worry about genetic
defects you may still have.  :)
