[SunRescue] [OT]: NeXTStep on SPARC/PA RISC

[Joshua D. Boyd]

Speaking of mathematica on NeXT, I heard that it used to come standard.
Can anyone confirm this, and which versions did it come standard with?  I
suspect that setting up nextstep on a 486 would be cheaper than buying a
copy of Mathematica, and for my needs, a 486 for math is fine.
