The definitive words below are those of Jonathan Seybold, editor of The Seybold Report--and perhaps the most respected voice in the field of desktop publishing.

His reaction to the NeXT Computer was strikingly similar to that of the chairman of Adobe, the editor of Byte Magazine, even the editor of MacWorld.  People who have lived desktop publishing since its humble beginnings.

The fact is, the NeXT Computer has caused many to believe it was designed specifically for the purpose of desktop publishing.  A credible theory given the evidence.

To begin with, our is the first pure PostScript machine.  This means what you seen on the display is precisely what will print.  (You can work onscreen with the entire Adobe type library and connect directly to any PostScript device, from laser printer to typesetter.)

It's also the first to provide optical storage.  This new technology lets you store and transport the biggest documents, along with libraries of fonts and art.  A single optical disk (256 megabytes) does the job of about 300 floppy disks.

The NeXT Computer makes possible a new generation of advanced publishing software.  FrameMaker, for example, brings a new simplicity to the process by combining writing, graphics and layout tools in a single package--yet it can routinely handle documents that span thousands of pages.

And, with true multitasking, other tools are available at the click of a mouse.  The NeXT Digital Library gives you instance access to reference books and archives of past work.  NeXT Mail--the first multimedia mail--lets you gather information and work with others more effectively than ever.

In this brochure, we'll show you what it's like to build a document on a NeXT Computer, and how a more sophisticated machine actually makes publishing simpler.

You'll find that the people we've quoted here weren't being dramatic.  Or controversial.

They were just being honest.

--John Warnock, Chairman and CEO, Adobe

 

"Moments after its introduction, the NeXT Computer became the new standard against which competing systems will be compared"

"It is indeed a machine for the 90s.  It represents a bold step forward in both hardware and software"
