I haven't followed c.s.n.* in quite a while, so I'm out of touch with
the NeXT market.

Anyone care to give an answer (or a guess) to the following questions?

1.  How many NeXT's are out there now ?  How many of those have color ?

2.  What's the situation with X/Motif on the NeXT ?  Do real NeXT users
	scorn Motif apps ported from other platforms ?  Is an X/Motif
	implementation for the NeXT easy to get ?

3.  What other scientific apps exist besides Mma ?

I'm just curious I guess.  A year or two ago, people were wildly
speculating whether or not the NeXT was going to make it.  I am
just wondering if the answer is any clearer now.
