Thy just don't have a vendor booth demonstrating the machines. I took a tutorial Monday that Avadis Tevanian, Jr. from NeXT taught. It was a Mach overview. Quite informative. But he only mentioned NeXT a couple of times. But then a tutorial on Mach is hardly the place to plug NeXT products. There is also going to be a multimedia demonstration from 2:00-3:30 on Thursday. It is entitled "Software Technology at NeXT". It will be presented by Avadis Tevanian, Trey Matteson, David Jaffe, and Bryan Yamamoto (all from NeXT, Inc.). This should be interesting. However an hour and a half of exposure at a one week conference is just not enough (IMHO). -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education. -- Albert Einstein Steve Donahue Internet: scd@cis.ufl.edu CIS Engineering NeXTmail: uflorida!thecube!steve University of Florida
