   And with a price to match. The cheapest NeXT hardware is priced higher than
   any Amiga.

Even the Amiga 3000 Unix machine?  It's not like you aren't getting
what you pay for when it comes to a NeXT computer.  It would be nice
if a 15 mip,.... box cost $2000 but it's only 1991.  Many more people
would be better off with the Amiga, but people in corporate America
sure aren't.  Neither are the people in education.
