I agree with Sal. I bought the next to program it. The truly unique thing about
the NeXT is that it's easy (relativly) to write good looking applications with
it. Interface builder and objective-C make this possible.

Most of the postings have been about how to get a NeXT, how NeXTs will/wont/may
be gettable in the near/far/littleBitAhead future. The postings will naturally
turn to programming as people sort out their purchasing decisions.

Aside from the fact that I'm annoyed there hasn't Been Enough About
Programming, most newsreaders (programs or people) are sophisticated enough
to easilly skip uninteresting (to them) stuff.

I subscribed to the mailing lists, cause I want the info, but I too would
prefer to see it on comp.sys.next, where, in my opinion, it belongs.
