Have others noticed this, or is it just me?

Every year we hear about how UNIX is going to take over the
world, next year.  And MS-DOS, OS/2 (fill in your favorite/hated OS)
will be dead.                

BUT we've been hearing this every year for the last 5 years.  I 
wonder what that means.  

Of course we've also been hearing, for the last 3 years, about
how the MAC will obsolete everything.

Now its NeXT.  But UNIX will obsolete them all NEXT YEAR, of course.

I wonder what this all means.  May be I should pay more attention
to the guy down town carrying the "World will end tomarrow" sign.
