- Our campus bookstore has a NeXT machine that was inadvertently (or
- purposely?) set to boot off of a network. Now, this is a demo model so
- it's quite standalone.
-
- I recall that the NeXT has some sort of monitor mode that you can enter
- before you allow the machine to boot (I messed one up while playing with
- it, too), so I was wondering how I could go in and set the thing to boot
- off its own internal hard drive again.
-
- Please email response, as I no longer keep up with this newsgroup.
- (Sorry...even still, NeXT _is_ my favorite machine out there)

- Conversation between me and Dad a few years back: Dad: "This is a RISC
- machine, son." Me: "Why's it a risk, Dad?" "That's the design, son.
- It's designed as a RISC machine." "What, a R-I-S-K?" "No, it's R-I-S-C."
- "Oh, what's that?" "It stands for Reduced Instruction Set Computer." "Oh."
