I'm looking to buy a new computer (hopefully on educational
discount). Up until recently, I haven't consider the NeXT as an option
due to its high price. However, I would like to find out more about
this computer.
I have used the older NeXT machines, we
have two at Rutgers, one in the computer lab I work at. But both
machines are pretty useless, only an optical drive, no real software,
and only one has a printer (not the one in my lab). I haven't seen the
new OS, but I've heard is suppose to be much better.
What I would like to know is the following:
- Does anyone have a list of the Ed. Prices?
- How unreasonable is a color NeXT (considering I'm only a student)?
- What models are available and what do they include?
- How is software/hardware support? What types of applications are
available and how is the pricing?
I'm looking for a computer for graphics and animation work including
desktop publishing. My main focus is the Amiga 3000, since the Amiga
is a good computer for animaion, is well-supported, color is standard
and the 3000 has the 68030. Would a NeXT suit my needs any better than
the Amiga?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide! :)
