 > If you see the NeXT you see the future of the PC.

One last FACT to everbody who fell in love with those black boxes.
I've got the number of sold machines. "Sold" machines are machines sold to 
end-users, excluding machines at dealer sites and below-cost deals with 
"developers".

In the US, all types of NeXT (Cube, Station) is slightly above 2000.
In Europe, the sold base is currently below 50.

I've got nearly identical numbers from 2 different information sources, so 
these figures seem to be realistic.
