Well I saw the NeXT machine on the news, and per usual the news
never provided enough really specific details about the system
to be worth while, though it appeared to have nice graphics,
no better than the Mac, it seemed fast on the display, this is
subjective. The box itself being black and square was un-impressive.
Though looks aren't everything. I am sure we'll get all the details
eventually. Though I hear its $6500 to colleges and universities,
and $10000 for the "rest of us" and will not really be shipping
until NeXT year (maybe?).....we'll see
