I don't feel that way.  I want to have people think 'innovation' and
'success' when people think of the NeXT.  Most people I know think
of 'cool game machine' and 'machine with no new software' when they
think Amiga.  (Whether this is true or not...the fact is that the
Amiga went for the game and video processing niche, and fills it
pretty well...the NeXT is an entirely different ballgame, one which
I think fills more (and different) niches better)

BTW, I don't want to start a flame war with this, I just am echoing
opinions of people around here whom I deal with.
Standard disclaimers apply.
