  This is slightly ridiculous - you criticize the original poster for
making the opinion comment that NeXT influenced the IIsi microphone, and
the go ahead and make an even more stupid opinion giving Farralon the credit
for the influence in construction of IIsi mic idea... that is equivalent
to saying the the company that made Virtual '30 should be given credit
for the virtual idea in Sys 7.0.. (which seems to be another catch up
attempt, since virtual has been an inherent part of NeXT from day 1...
) - people are welcome to their opinions.  Don't hypocritically persecute
them for it..
