Time was, NeXT was a hard sell into corporations because it required so little administration, and what there was was so easily done IT staffs were hugely cut back after implementing them.
Had to move my Cube this past week-end, and it made me incredibly sad.
Using a NeXT Cube w/ Wacom ArtZ and an NCR-3125 running Go Corp.'s PenPoint (and rebooting into Windows for Pen Computing when I wanted to run Futurewave Smartsketch) was the high-water mark of my computing experience.
It was elegant, consistent, reliable, and "just worked" in a way no computer has since (and I had such high hopes for Rhapsody and the Mac OS Public Beta).
I'd be glad to see Apple bring those tools back.
