The nExt is not the most perfectly designed machine (who would put the power switch right on the keyboard; kind of like the DEC terminals at schools where the logout key is right nExt to the RETURN key). And if the nExt is worth that much, I would assume that it is very similar to owning an Amiga 1000. An Amiga 1000 is fully compatible with 95% of all of the Amiga hardware and software available today. Is the nExt? Will it be? I hear it doesn't even run SVR4. -- begin 644 dh3:uploads/killchip M```#\P`````````"``````````$````_`````0```^D````_,_Q```#?\)HLH M>0````1![@%"(%!*D&<``'8B:``*(`EK\`R10VAI<&;H#*@`"````!AEWB0\4 M`!```)2H`!@B/``(``"2@B)H`!`@"="I``1*D6<.#(``"```9```,B)18.B3F MJ0`$DZ@`''`(2$`M0``^D((A0``8<@!![@`B
