New Toy

I'm a slave to my desire for gadgets, and am powerless against the nearly insurmountable nostalgia for a World That Was™. I have a Newton 2100, a Commodore SX-64, and I recently had a (failed, sadly) opportunity to provide a good home for a Symbolics 3650 Lisp Machine. Now, I have a NeXTstation Turbo Color.

An unflattering shot, but I'll get more as it gets situated.

Oh, the wonders! In the words of Sophocles, that great greek poet of old:

"You dork."

So there are others out there that share my "sickness"!!  :-)  I don't think I've ever seen somebody capture it in words as perfectly as you have above.  Computer Nostalgia can't be beat. 
Congrats on the NeXT box, can't wait to see some pics of it running.
