      This is a very nice discussion that you guys have going here. Next and
Macintosh....hmmmm....

      I don't believe that Mr. Jobs would be in business iwth Next today if he
hadn't come out with the lower priced models. On the other hand, I honestly
don't believe he's going to be in business in three years, in spite of the
lower priced models. 
 
      Seriously, after working with other xwindows type of systems, the Next
doesn't really provide anything new, does it? Other than using Objective-C,
and the Interface Builder... what have you? 
      And who's going to buy the machine, who is using it????  Other than
college students who have some bucks to spend on it... most of the arguements
seem bent on power and theoretical goo, not real world usage. 
 
     my two bits... not worth much. but, it's a free country.
