There's no one at Apple [in charge] with any vision at all. I wouldn't go that far. What about Alan Kay. We have him to thank for starting all of this. What about Knowledge Navigator? This is quite feasable in the next couple of years. I think Apple has some really neat ideas but they are looking to far into the future and aren't putting out feasable solutions for the near future. NeXT seems to be doing a much better job at looking at what can be accomplished and what is good and exciting. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bryce Jasmer jasmerb@cs.orst.edu
