The problem is, that you get for that
monney a new Amiga 4000 that has an
Motorolla 68040 too, a 400Mbyte (or more
) and not forget to mention that this
machine has a Colour-Palette of 16 mio
colours and 24-Bit Graphics capabilities
. (Ok, it has not an 2.88 Mbyte Floppy-d
rive, but a Laser-Printer is in the
price included).

Please don't understand me wrong, I
DON'T want to offense you (if I already
did, then sorry for that) I just wanted
to say one thing: Isn't the NeXT a bit
overprices these days? (A new one) It
almost has the same price than 3 years

$2,900

I posted this article a week ago. Due to a severe lack of serious  
responses, I'm posting again. I thought that $3,600 minus some haggling  
would have been a fair price. Seemingly not! I am now asking $2,900 but  
will be prepared to do a whole lot less haggling! I think this is a good  
price. 

btw I also have 68040 and 56000 ( that's the DSP included with the system  
) user manuals to go with this machine.

Does anyone have information about the best place to order 8MB SIMMs (72 pin  
70ns 2x32)?  I've seen the FAQ entries, but thought maybe someone has resent  
experience buying memory.  Has the price of 8MB & 16MB SIMMs been affected by  
the new tariffs?

Thanks for your help.

I'm a complete price gawker myself, and always call a spade a spade,
but fair market value is what people are willing to pay for equipment.
Good luck finding all those '030 cubes with the laser printer for $1500,
and I'll take all the 25Mhz stations you can drum up at $2K a pop, even
the 8/105's.

I think a fair price for an '030 cube WITHOUT the printer (8/200 or so,
with working optical) is $1800.  A fair price for an 8/200 station is
$2500.  How many of those do you see advertised?  Do you think no one
here is selling their machine?

I still need to sell either my 68030- or 68040-based NeXT motherboards.  I'd
like $500 for the 030 cube motherboard or $1000 for the 040 cube motherboard.
They include:

68030 or 68040 processor running at 25 Mhz.
Motorola 56001 digital signal processor for sound/ISDN input or output
2 RS-423 serial ports
1 SCSI port
Onboard magneto-optical disk controller
Onboard 2.88 meg floppy disk controller (68040 only) 
stereo speaker and microphone jacks
thin ethernet connector (040 board also has 10base-T)

Well, many days after starting this "Photoshop" and "Image" thread, I have
stumbled across something interesting.  I've downloaded the demo copy of
Compose In Color (CIC) off the archives.  Hey, this is interesting!  I don't
have a color machine, so it kind of sucks for me, but it looks like
something along the lines of a high-end pixel-editing program.  Has anybody
bought this program?  Looks expensive.  Looks slow on a color machine, too. 
But it's got lots of neat-o features, though I haven't finished futzing with
it yet to see if any of them are really practical.

Hey, we got enough negative campaigning in the recent election.  It's bad
enough to advertise one's own commercial product on the Internet, but totally
unacceptable to deride a competitor's efforts.  When you both have shipping

Does anyone know how to get it to subtract and add time like you would
on a time sheet.  For example, I would type in an IN time and an OUT
time and it would calculate the amount of time worked in hours.

Thanks,
John

And the answer is...

col2:sum  = selectsum(col1:Val1 .. col1:Val4 ,col2:Val1 .. col2:Val4 ,"x")

I'm very confused about things:

1.	Why do Palatino and other families--Architect, Bodoni, etc. 
	generally look like road-kill on the screen?  
2.	Furthermore, some fonts (Palatino Roman 12) show up on-screen
	as Helvetica!! 

Things get stranger when it's time to print.  
1.	When I print to a remote Apple NTX-J over NFS, things work.  
2.	When I print to a local NeXT color printer, I get Courier!!  
3.	When I try to print the public domain Architect font 
	(never very predictable, even under 2.1) I get screen fonts,
	but Courier on paper.

To review steps taken thus far:
1.	Deleted the hidden files in the /LocalLibrary/Fonts 
	directory (.afmcache, .fontdirectory, and .fontlist), 
2.	Logged in as root,ran buildafmdir and cacheAFMData 
3.	Made sure the permissions were set correctly for everybody,
4.	Logged back in as myself, and 
5.	Was promptly disappointed by what I saw.  

Any helpful hints from Those Who Know Better?

Cut the folowing out and paste it into a new Yap document window, follow the
