We love you too.

Just remember that the Mac got where it was because of word of mouth and
evangelism.

As for whether the Mac vs. NeXT discussion belongs in this newsgroup.
It's only fair, since Mac and Sun aficionados have been over in the NeXT newsgroup.
Just check for old articles with "vs" or "Mac" or "Sun" in the subject line.

I think that the discussion here has been relatively controlled, with 
virtually no personal flammage.  For the great part, we're debating facts
and I'm learning a lot about the Mac, and Mac users are, I hope, learning
a lot about the NeXT.
