	Where is it that Apple and NeXT are in any serious 
	competition with each other? (In ego perhaps) but
	Joe Average is not going to run out and buy a Unix
	box. If you think they are, Why can't you buy a Sun
	or other Unix box at the local computer store? (outside Xenix)
	I think that its somewhat obvious that Unix is not for the
	masses no matter what front end you stick on it. Software
	for Unix platforms is usually incredibly spendy as well.
	So It is my opinion that Apple is not really in any
	significant competition with NeXT with some certain
	Market exceptions that I don't think are all that
	significant..... I could be wrong, but I doubt it..
