Me too.  If you are programmer, I'll bet you've noticed how amazingly
kludgy everything is getting;  but that's not Apple's fault, though, they
were the ones who pioneered GUIs (yeah, I know, Xerox...) and I complement
them that their foresight was really pretty good.  But now they know exactly
what to do, perhaps they should put out a new machine, maybe an 88000 based
machine with new ROM built from scratch, and make the programmer's life a
little easier by taking a NeXT interface builder approach.  Throw in
some coprocessors (especially some graphics chips to make QuickDraw quick)
and make them standard equipment.  Oh, yeah, make it unix to start off!

And of course after they finish that, put some people on a Mac emulator
project so not to alienate us ;-)
