You have perhaps already received some response on your comments about the NeXT platform. I agree that the Amiga is a useful platform though your information about the NeXT is out-of-date and innacurate. The appropriate platform for any given application is never "obvious" and is always a factor of the size, type, complexity, and user environment intended. The Amiga has certain strengths, as does the NeXT. I think we are all served by haveing complete knowledge about computing options so that we can make the correct choice in given situations.
