I find that the most pleasing way to use the NeXT is to 1) buy more
memory and 2) open nearly all of the applications you might use at
once and get a cup of coffee while they load. It takes much less time
for the Apps to swap in than it does to launch then. Right now, I have
Mail, Preferences, Terminal (2 of them), Mathematica, Tetris,
Librarian and Shell running. It is not too bad having them all open.
