Well, after using these machine now for a while, I've come to the decision that I'm going to purchase a NeXT. Of course, the big questions is what NeXT to buy? Being a student, the educational price of a Slab is very attractive. Right now, I'm looking at a NeXTstation Color. My main question to you is this: how well do the Slabs function as standalones? I realize in terms of performance, there's no real problem, but what I don't want is to be stuck with something I can go places with at a later date. The cube can go places, the slab can't. I realize that I should be asking myself "does the slab do what you need a computer to do?" and the answer is "Yes!" but the other question is "will the slab still be able to do what I want it to two years from now?" That's a good question... Anyway-- just soliciting opinions... thanks...
