(Yet the best deal around!) Message-ID: <21802@well.sf.ca.us> Date: 23 Nov 90 08:35:03 GMT References: <1990Nov13.232531.9757@usenet.ins.cwru.edu> Organization: Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link, Sausalito, CA Lines: 11 The originator of this thread began with the argument that the people in the NeXT newsgroup were griping about the NeXT. First, most of the gripes are from Sun and Mac users who now feel their favorite platforms being threatened by the upstart NeXT. Secondly, those NeXT users who do complain would not trade in their NeXT for any computer of comparable price. We may gripe about stupid software pricing policies, but that's so we can get software companies to change their policies and not because we feel there is something seriously wrong with the NeXT. On the contrary, experienced NeXT users (those that I know at least) love their machines, even the old, slow 68030 Cubes. Software developers (I'm in this category) are ecstatic about the NeXT's software development environment.
