I am in a sort of dillema. I do not know if this is the appropriate group to 
post this, but I am wearing my flame proof suit. I need to upgrade from my
old Mac Plus. I want a much more powerful machine. I look at a MacIIci, and
the 68030, 5Mb, no hard drive machine costs $3555. And that is without any
monitor or keyboard  Then, I look at a NeXT work station that has the 68040,
8Mb RAM, 105Mb hard drive, a whole mess of bundled software, the ability to
run IBM software using the program SoftPC, and I am told, soon the ability to
run Mac software as well. This machine runs $3524, including a 17" MegaPixel
monitor an accessory kit. What is wrong with this picture? I am interested in
hearing why I should by the MacIIci or why I should not buy the NeXT station.
