While this is all a wonderful discussion---and I agree with many
statements (particularly the lack-of-FLOPs argument, and the fact
that it is hard to sell a machine without a known upgrade path)---it
is all a waste of time. NeXT does not appear to listen, nor to establish
any channels to properly and productively outlet such frustrations.
Heck, I don't even know if there will ever be a software upgrade at
this point!

We may as well go to the next point of the agenda---may that be
talking about things we can do, or selling our own NeXT systems to
some poor and deserving students (and I really don't want to be forced
to do this).
