More | software (real applications, not just tools), better, faster, more versitile | hardware, and many times the future possibilities. It was | wrong of the Wall Street Journal to misrepresent the facts Re: NeXT cost | comparison, but under the microscope, nothing changes. The NeXT machine | has the bang-per-buck factor all to itself. +--------------- I'm still a bit unhappy: $6500 is *student* cost. What about J. Random Hacker over here?
