- It's also worth noting that the price of the 'Daydream' was around $800
- for NeXTs the last time I looked, and required rebooting the machine into
- "Macintosh" mode. Ie, it's real expensive and isn't at all integrated
- -- It just lets you run a different OS on your hardware (and in my
- opinion, you'd be better off just buying a new computer).
