True, and I also lament the lack of NeXT marketing.  I would *love* to see a
NeXT rejoinder to the "Star Wars flying-through-the-jungle" Sun commercial!
However, I wanted to point out that the keynote address at Usenix is being
givien by Paul Lansky, who creates all of his snazzy sounds these days on
NeXTs.  Anyone get a chance to hear Paul's talk?  Any impressions/reviews?
