Oh, come on! It does mention Amiga in only one sentence that goes like:
"The Mac would have become a forgotten footnote in history, just like the Amiga".

Besides, if you ignored all about NeXT for twenty years, there is really not much merit in learnig it now. I own a NEXTSTATION and I am honestly thinking of taking it to the dump on new years (or shortly after).

No! It's a sin to destroy vintage computers, there's always a home for them somewhere.
Computers: Amiga 1200, DEC VAXStation 4000/60, DEC MicroPDP-11/73
Synthesizers: Roland JX-10/MT-32/D-10, Oberheim Matrix-6, Yamaha DX7/FB-01, Korg MS-20 Mini, Ensoniq Mirage/SQ-80, Sequential Circuits Prophet-600, Hohner String Performer

Why? It does not fit in you're paper shredder?
