- Hmm, I have Sun Sparcstation IPX here at university and NeXTstations
- at my own company. Comparing these two machines: I think Sun is pretty
- boring to use. Those specs above looks like they have a fast machine
- but if I have to choose between NeXT and Sun I would take NeXT.
-
- I value the Operating System (or should I say the Operating Environ-
- ment) more and more I use my NeXT.
