I hereby apologize to MB. He's not the most obnoxius person on the
net. Felix gets the award. Atleast Marc can argue intelligently.
When I read this post. I get the impression of a kid fighting with
another kid 'Nananana. My dad is better than yours.' 'Oh yeah, well
my dad does this.'

Big deal. The Amiga doesn't run Unix out of box. Does the NeXT
run lastest version of ATT Unix? is it ABI compatible? Does it
make french toast?

Does the NeXT run AmigaDOS? Is its expansion bus as good as Zorro III?


Oh, when is newtek going to port the video toaster to the NeXT?
(h :-) )
