Hey NeXT'ers, I am investigating buying a new computer. I have heard and read very much about the Next, and am very interested in one, but I have a few questions about it. As it is a Unix workstation, how much general software is there for the Next? How useable is it by a person who does not know unix? (I am well versed in Unix, but members of my family aren't). Are there many applications for it? How stable is the Unix system? With Unix being a very network-oritented system, how useable is the machine away from a network environment? Are there good modems available? Thank you in advance, answering these questions would help me a lot. Please email directly to me, I will summarize to the net if there is sufficient intrest. Thanks.
