Well, in case you haven't heard the NeXT allows you to send binary
files(as in executables, TIFFS, voice).  This capability has been
there since 1988(OS/2 was just a bunch of promises -- actually it
still is).  It might have been refined since 1988.  I've only been
using the NeXT for about a year now, and I must say it does make
personal computers look like toys.

BTW, all you have to know is how to click and drag.  Quit playing with
toys!  Are we all excited about DOS 5.0?  :-)
