Interesting comment... When I commented to a colleague that the NeXT was
a gross case of technological overkill that would really be only of much
use to the Comp. Sci. elite, he said ``Kind of like the Lisa was... maybe
Jobs will have to come out with the NeXT equivalent of the Mac as well to
make any sales to the masses.''

I think that's going to be the scenario. One has only to look at the PC to see
that whiz-bang technology is not what sells lots of boxes.
