From article <8359@cit-vax.Caltech.Edu>, by wetter@cit-vax.Caltech.Edu (Pierce T. Wetter):
! Personally, my opinion is that it would be nice to have both a Mac II and a
! NeXT box. On the II I run canned software like the Douglas schematic and
! PCB layout program I have, and full write.
! On the NeXT box I: write my own stuff in C++ (yay!), use Mathematica,
! use WriteNow, use UNIX/MACH stuff.

! This gives me the best of both worlds.

How about a Cray in the next room, just in case you want to design a
thermonuclear device?  And a satellite dish, and a frame-capture board,
and FTL travel, and Morgan Fairchild...
