How close is the user-interface to a Mac?
If it is VERY CLOSE (nudge, nudge, wink, wink), then
maybe we can just start talking about
the NeXT box in comp.sys.mac  ;-)

Seriously, there seems to be a trend towards increased connectivity
(MS-DOS boxes being able to import certain Mac-produced files, and
visa versa).  Maybe it isn't too unrealistic to expect the NeXT box
to read (and run...?) Mac programs.  Maybe we will soon see Apple
produce a "Mac card" that you can plug into your NeXT, enabling it
to run Mac programs.

Same here.
