The first thing that a new NeXT user noticed today in our lab is that the new keyboards really stink. I guess I can tell him how to remap the keyboard, but when you consider spending $3300 on a computer, the little things bother you. BTW, are the color stations shipping in quantity? We have two on order for our lab and we haven't received them yet. The operator said that they were ordered 4 months ago. -Mike

Also it has been addressed in many articles, BYTE, Unix World, Mac World. I hope someone in NeXT needs to do something for this "WORLD" class opinion! ;-{ Soo lee@cs.wisc.edu
