I suppose that this might be so -- but more importantly ( I feel ) is
that the NeXT has proved a point.  Even if NeXT fails, it has shown
what a UNIX box can be.

With SUN's terrible service, windowing systems that left some things
to be desired, and the high price for getting a unix system with 
comercial software, I feel that NeXT and all it offers, has made a mark 
-- and hopefully it won't be one soon forgoten.
