I find the NeXT software tools the best part of the machine. The hardware 
lookls little better than a Mac-wanna-be. If someone could find a decent
way to port the NeXT software tools so that they would be reasonably
small in code size, fast, and affordable, then maybe we could junk
Windows and OS/2/PM for the Interface For The Rest of Us. But I doubt
it will happen.
