Don't forget that the NeXT uses the optical storage disk. That has to
slow it down terribly. I know that an 800Mb 28ms drive is available, but it
seems kind of silly to have both forms of media in the computer. Especially
if the optical drive available is only 550Mb. It would probably be much
better if the NeXT were to come with an 800Mb hard drive as the default
drive and use the Optical Drive just for removeable storage. An entire
Licensed Program Product would be available on one disk then and the ussual
UNIX installation and upgrading nightmare would be avoided.
