- For the needs the person listed, Mathematica, a C-compiler, development
- tools, and Textures were worthless. Why make force the Quadra to have
- these extra capabilities & force the user to pay for them when they
- don't need it?
-
- If you are talking about the general case of NeXT v. Mac prices,
- check out comp.sys.mac.advocacy, there has been a thread there for
- a while on this very subject.
