I'd rather have NeXT 0.8 than any of its current "production" competitors. I've seen bad (I mean really awful) software in every vendor release I've seen, and all are bigger players with more money and time invested than NeXT. What's the point of the NeXT-bashing here? Are you guys disappointed that it isn't something from the Land of Oz? Real steps forward come with bugs. Big deal. If you don't want a NeXT, don't buy one; it'll leave more for the realists in the world... -- +-DLS (dls@mace.cc.purdue.edu)
