You have perhaps already received some response on your comments about
the NeXT platform.  I agree that the Amiga is a useful platform though
your information about the NeXT is out-of-date and innacurate.  The
appropriate platform for any given application is never "obvious" and
is always a factor of the size, type, complexity, and user environment
intended.  The Amiga has certain strengths, as does the NeXT.  I think
we are all served by haveing complete knowledge about computing options
so that we can make the correct choice in given situations.
