   agreed "if i see one more NeXT article..."

   if i wanted to know what you Nextheads were doing, i would read
   comp.sys.NeXT, or (to quote someone else, "comp.sys.mine_is_better_than_yours")

   1) i have a lowly (obsolete mind you) macintosh plus, its slow, but servicable.

   2) i also have unix, on a far greater scale than your puny little pee wee
      attempt at a unix box will ever dream of--its called a mainframe.

Hmmm.  Good God, what can I say?  Does your school have a $10,000,000
mainframe too?

   i am not trying to rank on the NeXT itself, it is a fabulous machine,
   but that people have to sit there, after buying what they feel is the
   right machine for themself, and tell other people that it is right for
   them.

My entire purpose was to inform people so that they could make a more
better decision when they purchased their NeXT computer.  Simply put:
this is your brain, this on your brain on a Mac :-) :-).  Just a joke.
I still use the Mac, and I still tell other people to buy them.

   hows about keeping comp.sys.next in comp.sys.next; sometime i like reading
   the postings about the macintosh, but, i often miss replys to things because
   of all the comp.sys.next  spillovers which suck up all of the space on
   this newsgroup (comp.sys.mac.misc)

Ya know, I don't see anything wrong with a little comparison and
contrast every know and then in a *.misc group.  The only problem is
that you get people who jump in and say stuff like "Yeah, but my
$100,000 mainframe is faster than your $5000 computer."
