  Ok, I do *not* want any Amiga vs. NeXT garbage postings cluttering
  this newsgroup, but I would just like to point out that you can
  buy an Amiga3000UX for less than a NeXT.

  Personally, I wouldn't buy one (an Amiga3000Ux, that is), because,
  if I'm gonna sink ~$4000 into a workstation, it'd be a NeXT.
  However, I just wanted to say that there *is* an alternative to
  NeXT, Sun and HP.

  PS:  Note that I did not cross-post to any Amiga newsgroups.  Last
  time, we had a rash of "the Amiga's better than Next" postings,
  and I can do without that again ...
