I knew people who had them at home, but expand my distinction into the home business desktop publishing people. Most people did not have an SGI or NeXT at home, unless they had a business reason or got them after they were surplussed from their workplace. I was once offered the Xerox 386 workstation from my work, in 1995. It was only about 7 years old when my work was going to chuck it as obsolete. I was the only person who knew how to use it so they were just going to give it to me. As butt head I turned them down, at the time I did not want it. Nice GUI system with optical mouse and Page Maker software. Bill
