"Will be out shortly..." "Has been announced..." "Is right around the corner..." Do these phrases sound familiar? It seems the NeXT fans have a double standard here. They accept every software announcement for their favorite machine as gospel truth, but assume that Apple and its third-party developers are completely incapable of delivering anything they promise. Maybe there are some great new packages coming for the NeXT, but software development for the Mac isn't standing still, either. BTW, System 7.0 is already in beta release. Since NeXT has a history of shipping machines with beta software, by NeXT standards System 7 is already available for the Mac.
