Because it is, and hardly anyone knows about it.

Because it is.

The NeXT isn't a PC. It's a workstation. A damned nice one for non-nerds.
I'd love one... but I can't afford it. It's not a PC.

No, you don't. Because Commodore had to spend the critical first few years of
ad money fiting of an idiotic lawsuit from Jack "I can't buy Amiga because
I fucked up at Commodore" Tramiel.

It's got nothing to do with the users, except partly as an explanation for
why many have been driven near insanity by the past few years. The machine
is the *only* PC with system software over the batch processor level, and
nobody knows it.
