I must say, as someone who pays the rent by writing NeXT software, that today's
smattering of postings are quite disapointing. On one hand we have a well
informed individual from JPL who wants the NeXT machine to be a SPARCSTATION.
The part about how NeXT needs to turn NeXTStep into some X bastard child was
really sad.  The window server is slow enough right now, doesn't everyone
agree?  As far as reading posts like "why didn't NeXT use X, or why NeXT didn't
use C++, or why NeXT didn't use a SPARC chip" are really acedemic. The fact is
that NeXT is what it is, they made some choices that to some may seem wrong.
But in truth only time will tell.  And as far as anymore arguments from 
people at CMU and whereever.... Take it to E-Mail, please! I think that most
people who read this think the both of you are silly.
