The "MAC of the 90's" discussion has gone on for far too long already. However, it is fun to imagine who must be more annoyed, those comp.sys.mac readers who have to put up with all of the NeXT junk, of the comp.sys.next browsers having to swallow all of the MAC junk!-)

I've been following the bickering and find it useful. Even uninformed comparisons tell me such things as what issues people care about, how these machines are (mis)perceived, etc. As one who is evaluating the NeXT as a platform for porting applications now existing on the Mac, let me encourage you all to bicker on. ) )If anyone is offended by these remarks & feels the need to 'flame' me, )don't waste other people's time by posting a message to the net. If you must, Wasted time is a relative concept. Even your posting wasn't a waste of time because it helped chrystalize my thoughts on this matter. How ever, if you follow this up to insist that those things which don't interest *you* are an absolute waste of time, you will be wasting time.
