Sure, RJG.... Feel free to go out and pay $10,000 for a black and white
machine that isnt even NTSC compatible, cant display ANY color AT ALL, has NO
software support, and an incredibly limited user base....

Or, you can get an Amiga, a mid-range cost, high-performance multimedia
monster, with over 4000 colors displayable at dozens of resolutions, NTSC
compatible, with an exceedingly large amount of multimedia software available
and a good sized user base.

For $500 I can get an Amiga that will outperform a NeXT in many areas. No
joke.. Its not that hard to do.

The Amiga is the OBVIOUS choice for anything related to multimedia.

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your information about the NeXT is out-of-date and innacurate.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.
