Dear NeXTers,
I've started a new job at NIST in Boulder, CO and need to get 
a workstation. In grad school I used an '040 cube with 64Mb of
RAM and a 640 MB Fujitsu (and of course an OD - it was an 'upgraded'
cube). I also owned a NeXTstation at home for a while (sold it).

Here's my situation: I have to get a workstation _soon_ since the gov't's
fiscal year begins in Oct and all the funds get spent quick.

Everyone here used SPARCs, so they're pushing me in that direction; hard.
My main uses are: Mathematica, mathematical modelling of wave propagation
(i.e. lots of numerical integration of complex functions), image processing,
word processing, spreadsheet, etc. 

The SPARC systems under consideration are the IPX and (maybe) the Sparc 10-31
which is considerably faster than ANY NeXT.
Either machine will need a C/C++ compiler, FORTRAN and Mathematica.

Now the hard part; how to sell my leaders on a NeXT...?

Thanks in advance.
