I posted "why" in another post.  But NeXT is "bad"... it really really is.

I am sure that I read somewhere that sounded official that C= was after the
higher education market.  Amiga has several advantages I can think of over
Sun. ...the AmigaOS and all its software, ...Mac emulation, and IBM 
emulation.  The CE department where I go to school is taking a serious look a
at Amiga.  Some want Macs, some want IBMs, some want workstations ...why not
just get it all in an Amgia 3000UX?

Its working but is dependent on an Amiga mother board and OS which sort of
spoon feeds little baby Macintoy.

Further discussion should be taken to .advocacy 

And  why don't we let the future take care of itself!
