Hmm.. an HP 735/125 will also run NeXTStep, it is
twice
as fast, much cheaper than the SS5, and nice monitors like
the 19" A2094A (trinitron) are cheap these days. I have both
an SS5 and a 735/125, and believe me, the speed difference
shows.
Well, by the same standpoint a properly outfitted Pentium III will blow away
either the SS5 or the HP 735/125. The Pentium III will run both
NeXTstep/OPENSTEP and Solaris. I've got Solaris 7 on a Dual 400Mhz Celeron,
it screams! Sometimes though the coolness factor of the hardware makes up
for the speed :^)
