Give me a break. Seems like the machine is getting a bad rap for following a practice that has been commonplace in the industry. NeXT's are not Macs (or PC's for that matter). They are built for a clustered environment and as such should be treated as such (otherwise, what use is the ethernet). You don't complain that your SUN doesn't have as floppy drive so don't complain about the NeXT. Never heard of anyone having to buy a tape unit before. Look at it this way, you only need one drive per cluster. By the way, move this to comp.next. Name: Eric A.
