Hi folks,
I am considering buying a NeXTStation, and was wondering if
there is anybody out there in the geosciences (or similar) that uses
one currently for research purposes. I would appreciate any opinions
re. advantages or disadvantages to using NeXT machines (rather than
PC's or other UNIX machines), for such diverse tasks as mathematical
modelling, creation of maps, writing, and preparation of slides for
presentations etc. So, is the NeXT a nice reliable, well-rounded
machine ?
If you've got the time, send e-mail to above address.
Thanks in advance,
-- Marcus Tate.
Grad. Student.
