Ah, but then again I work for a company > with one of the slickest logos going.... Yes... Sun has *the* slickest logo going (at least that's my opinion). I'm not interested in buying a logo though... I'm buying the guts of a machine and boy do I like what I see in the guts of the NeXT's hideous little box. I particularly like the fact that it runs an OS for which I can obtain source code and which will be compatibile with numerous public domain packages. Anybody know what SUN or APPLE are offering to compete or is it too soon to ask? I was considering a used SUN or a Mac II running A/UX for a home machine, but these options look pretty silly now compared to NeXT. -- John T.
