NeXT should participate on comp.sys.next, if for no other reason, because
comp.sys.next is the most extensive and most effective example of the idea
of "interpersonal computing" that NeXT is trying to push.  Admittedly, the
signal to noise ratio here could be a little better, but the signals are
damned useful.

When I saw NeXT pushing this idea in their marketing blurbs, I was quite
pleased since I believe the vision to be correct.  This network stuff is
what the future is going to be like.  And we're there now.
