You know, a few Mac vs. NeXT comparisons go a long way.  Its not really a
big deal to me whose machine is the "ultimate" one if they both do what
I need to get done at a price I can afford.  I write, draw, spreadsheet
(new verb) and play on my Mac.  I do my "real" computing on another machine;
guess who makes it?  :-)

What I wanted to contribute to this discussion is just the comment that
if anyone is really tired of all the Mac vs NeXT stuff in this group, try
this:
  * start up your news reader,
  * read a few of the latest Mac vs. NeXT articles just to be sure they
      are banging the same old issues.
  * if they are, do a kill on the whole lot.
Don't put it in your kill file.  If you do that, you miss out on the
pleasure of watching article after article succumb to deletion..  (Besides,
you might find one day that articles with Mac vs NeXT subjects ARE actually
talking about something new! :-)

I say, let 'em talk on.  Just listen when you want to.
