It looks like it's taking forever.  I am getting really impatient
with this.  Was it an article in NeXTWorld which said that
Illustrator is actually being ported from the Mac version?
This is really bad, having the least common denominator
of its functionality forced down to the level of Mac,
not even talking about the possible uglyness in the code,
which I don't care too much to me.
More than that, though, NeXT release will always trail that of the
Mac version probably by more than a year at this rate.

Nevertheless, I would very much like to see Illustrator come
to NeXT.  We will be anxiously waiting, and waiting ....
