Its not the same without the total package, though. At least, that's how I fel about it. I have a stack of other obsolete workstations in the closet, but only the NeXT gets to live on my desk and work. > MacOSX so that my mac was obsolete, I would be using one now.

I did Linux, and I don't care to do it anymore. It was my job to play Unix sysadmin, and it became tiresome to fight with things. Windows was convient, and offered me the ability to just have things work, but was trashy. MacOS X was the right combination of Unix power, stability, and Windows packaging. The price of an Apple, new or refurbished, isn't nearly as out of line as I thought they were. On the othe rhand, I also no longer have the paitence or inclination to assemble my own whiteboxes. > Played with one of those around the same time as getting my slab. > Dreadfully slow, huge, and monochrome.
