I think you have hit on something significant here.

NeXT will never be the PC of the future. That is obvious.

I would be delighted if they became another Amiga - Amiga just sold their  
millionth machine, there is a good software base, and they are successful.  

Your disparaging coments about Apple further reveal the attitude - you  
think that it might be too late for the Mac, but I say that the Mac was a  
ripping, roaring success, and I would be elated if the NeXT even came  
close. It might yet. 

Your feelings about what "successful" and "not successful" mean are really  
a long way away from what I think of in relation to NeXT.
