! A friend of mine who does DTP tried a 040 NeXT running pagemaker in 32 bit
! colour mode at a recent show. He basically said you couldn't pay him enough
! to use the system as it is now. Appearntly the lag time between clicking and 
! anything actually happening was frustratingly long. He said the original
! mac was faster( of course that was mono)

This is exactly like the owner of an inferior system.  Trash the thing that
is supposed to be the best...  You are comparing a TT030 to a NeXT 040?  Are
you sick?  "you're friend" was probably running on a machine with too little
memory and was waiting for swapfiles to come in and out.  The only way to
get 32bit color on the NeXT is with the NeXTDimension color board which has
an Intel i860 coprocessor on it...and it displays 32 bit color at about the
same speed that the non-NeXTDimension NeXTs display mono.  I am writing this
from NeXT right now.  We have tons of em here on campus (at the University 
of MD, College Park), and I use them every day.  The original Mac was a 7.x
megahertz 68000...I cannot even believe that you are trying to tell me that
that thing feels faster than a 25mhz 68040.  Amazing.
