Lines: 10 In case people at NeXT are reading this, let me reiterate Peter Deutsch's statement that the lack of X support is costing them sales. I am seriously considering the purchase of a NeXT machine, but am now having second thoughts because of what I have heard about the problems with X11R4 under 2.0. It doesn't matter to me how wonderful NextStep is. If it is nice, that is a plus. But the rest of our environment is X. If I don't have X, I can't run programs over the network, and I can't port software to the NeXT without major hassles. So I'm going to check on SUN again and see if I can get what I want from them. NeXT may lose a sale.
