Hello all, being a recent "convert" (IIfx->Cube), I'm very
happy with the NeXT, and all those who helped me with questions,
and yes, BusinessLand did a great job (here atleast) with the deal.

However, after looking through the latest (Fall'90) software book,
I'm a little disturbed in that the scroll buttons in some programs
(pgs.103, 151, 215) have been changed to "one at each end style",
which I could of swore I left back with that *other* machines OS.

So developers, please keep the interface and its elements in line
with elegance, functionality, and consistancy (NeXT style), and
spare the rest for...the rest.
