'A
Neat, Neat Box' 
The NeXT computer wowed industry analysts by offering more bang
-- and byte -- for the buck. Whatever its commercial chances, it
qualifies as state of the art in six areas.
- Sight: The
high-resolution black-and-white monitor shows exactly what will
come out of the laser printer.
- Sound: A Motorola chip
helps record and play back music and voices with the fidelity of a
compact disc.
- Memory: The removable,
erasable optical-disk drive can hold enough information to fill
hundreds of books.
- Software: The machine
comes complete with word processing, data base, Unix, programming
languages.
- Extras: A dictionary,
thesaurus, book of quotations and the complete works of
Shakespeare are thrown in.
- Price: The $6,500 tag
(with academic discount) is low, considering everything that comes
in the package.
