Well, I just got through with playing with a NeXTstation Color for a few
hours, and, well, I was stunned at the utter lack of software.  Maybe it's
just that all the good stuff is really expensive.  I'll admit it's a damn
powerful computer, but compared to the Mac's software base at a comparable
age, it's pretty weak.  Of course it would help if someone high up at NeXT
got their thumb out and started ADVERTISING.  Do you realize how many
non-computer type people out there have even HEARD of NeXT?  ("Next what?"
will more than likely be their answer)  You'd be hard pressed to find one.
If you can find two or more, you're a phenomenon.
