I think the truth is that Steve Jobs took a very big bite. Now, since
he has a very big mouth he may be able to chew it as well :-) Sorry couldn't
resist. I'm torn between believing whether or not the "Cube" is more
Lisa like or more Mac like. Will it be too expensive? Can Jobs turn
Universities into dealers? I do know that it has "legitimized" many
of the things that the Amiga brought to the "PC" marketplace. How
many times have you heard someone say "Well, of course the sound is
great on an Amiga, it is a games machine after all." Now you can ask
that person if their reasoning applies to the NeXT machine too.
