SO they have the toaster for the Amiga 3000 available do they? Last I heard
I had to buy an old technology Amiga 2000 or 2500 to put a Toaster in. 

The NeXT box (when it is shipping with JPEG functional which I do not think
is presently the case thanks to C-Cube!) will do something the Amiga will
probably never do. Edit digital video on disk. There are lots of other
things a NeXT will do much more easily than an Amiga, like exist cleanly in
an ethernet university environment. 

The counter arguments could go on for both sides forever. Different machines
are more appropriate for different applications, and Amiga is great at NTSC
video in some areas, but there is often a larger picture that the platform
has to fit into. 

I find than your comments are a bit obnoxious sounding, come off the soap
box for a while, tell us what your preferred platform does well, help when
help is needed, but don't attack....
