  Am I the only one who absolutely *loves* there NeXTStation
Color with the Fimi 17" display??  Everyday I read in these
newsgroups how:

	a) the Fimi 17" display is a piece of ****.
	b) 3.0 is so buggy that is shoudln't have been released.
	c) All the NeXT machines running 3.0 are too slow unless
          they have 32MB of memory.

 I can't be the only one out there who thinks this all a bunch of 
garbage, can I?  I have a NSC at home with 16MB of memory and Fimi
17" monitor and I think it's the best thing I've ever used. 

 I've had virtually no trouble with bugs in 3.0. Sure, people here 
have outlined ways to crash your machine (I've yet to find a machine
that couldn't be crashed) but I generally don't keep repeating events
that I know are going to crash my machine :-) In the 10 months since I've
had my machine (4 with 3.0 running), my machine has crashed about 4
times and that is through a lot of use.

 I have no problems with speed either. I think speed is a relative
thing but I think the people who are complaining that you can't run
3.0 without at least 20MB color and 16MB b+w are off base.  I'm writing
this message on a NeXTCube '040 with 8MB of memory and while I would 
classify it as slow, it is still *very* usable.

 So, if there is *anyone* out there who feels the same way as I do please
let me know!!  I find it really difficult to believe that all of these
recent postings (bitchings, whinings, NeXT death forcasters..) represent
as much of the NeXT community as they are representing in netnews traffic
(50%?).
