I certainly hope so as well.  In higher education, the digital
video-ish tools that IBM is introducing (built into XGA/2, for
example) and Apple is perfecting (QuickTime 1.5) are incredibly
important for coursework development.  NeXT needs some scheme to
allow at least 300x200x256 at a reasonable rate over a network.  The
CPU power is there, it just needs a chip or 3 to do the
compression/decompression.
NeXT can throw a ton of high-quailty TIFFs up if you have the RAM,
but if not everyone has a 32 MB color machine, it just won't work
right.  (I'm thinking of Movie.app)
