Last I heard I had to buy an old technology Amiga 2000 or 2500 to put a Toaster in. The NeXT box (when it is shipping with JPEG functional which I do not think is presently the case thanks to C-Cube!) will do something the Amiga will probably never do. Edit digital video on disk. There are lots of other things a NeXT will do much more easily than an Amiga, like exist cleanly in an ethernet university environment. The counter arguments could go on for both sides forever. Different machines are more appropriate for different applications, and Amiga is great at NTSC video in some areas, but there is often a larger picture that the platform has to fit into. I find than your comments are a bit obnoxious sounding, come off the soap box for a while, tell us what your preferred platform does well, help when help is needed, but don't attack....
