NeXT shipped *A LOT* of machines, man. Now, granted, nearly none of
them went into households, but they installed (by practically giving
them away) huge numbers of them in american colleges, and a large
nameless US Gov't agency bought a VERY LARGE number of them.
I'm definitely not trying to be a NeXT-tribesman here...but NeXT's
products, and their relative success & failure, are some of the most
misunderstood things in the workstation industry.
