I think this was pretty clearly a joke since it sounded a lot like one of
David Letterman's top ten lists.  Let's all take ten deep breaths and
declare a cease fire.  We just seemed to have finished a relatively mild
NeXT/Mac war, and now we're about to plunge into the great napalm pool
of PC vs. Mac.  Maybe somebody on from each side (Mac and PC) ought to put
together a list of things they find useful and things they find annoying
or poorly designed then put these somewhere we can direct those who seek
comparisons.  They can look at this and make up their own mind on how
each system meets their needs.

Just my $.02 worth.
