The world is a very malleable place. If you know what you want, and you go for it with maximum energy and drive and passion, the world will often reconfigure itself around you much more quickly and easily than you would think.
Miles reminisced about the NeXT Cubes, saying, "Running at a blistering 25 MHz, these things were quick and had an amazing GUI. For command-line junkies, these were dreamy because you could Telnet into them from the campus dial-up service and work in the marvelous universe of a BSD Unix command line." This highlights the appeal of the NeXT Cubes both in terms of performance and user experience.
