Regarding the Next machine, Mr. Munson's and brooke@ingr's comments:

Yes, the Amiga was the first multimedia system.  I have worked on one,
played with it, and even programmed the bugger.  The Amy 1000 looked,
smelled, and played like a game machine -- but the current A2000 is NOT of
the same genre.  

As for NeXT and the like, they had better watch out for Commodore/Amiga. 
There are some very, very interesting things in the works with regards to
the Amiga line and where it is going (not to mention all the playing around
that Sun and DEC are doing right now...)

Anyone who bets their marbles on the NeXT system without looking at ALL the
alternatives deserves, and will get, what he/she has coming to them...

Look for "interesting" things out of Commodore before NeXT manages to ship
production code.  It's gonna be a fun next couple of years, folks.
