Look, I'll grant that you are providing at least a nominal amount of information
by contributing NeXT information.  I wish you would STOP saying anything about
Apple.  You have proved repeatedly that you know relatively little about the
Mac, and you won't be "educated" as you put it if you continue to post 
assertions assuming you'll be corrected if you're wrong.

Farralon has had a sound recording device out for the Mac for a long time.  I
would guess that that and the multimedia craze contribute vastly more to Apple's
decision to include a microphone in the Mac than any possible NeXT influence.
