Re: NeXT catching up to Mac:

Lets face it.  The ROMs and the System are Apple's family jewels.  Now
NeXT has a rather potent set themselves (did I really say that?).  The
price of a truly sexy computer just HAS to drop.

Mac has a nice harem of applications surrounding it, something that NeXT
lacks.  Meanwhile, while we know what both companies are, NeXT seems
less prone to haggle over price.

I say "guard yourself, Apple" now that NeXT has turned pro.

charmingly innocent guy)
