Gee, Next must be having a fire sale again. Save your money. for what I've
seen, NS is a waste of time unless you have the right hardware. Why odes
Next always screw themselves this way?
First, you couldn't even *buy* a cube unless you were perpetually tied to
academia. Then, you could buy a cube only from certain vendors, and now you
can't even run the damn software unless you have very specific hardware.
NextStep is the coolest programming interface I've ever seen. When I use the
visual-crap from Microsoft all I can think of is what a shame it is that
Next isn't the vendor for it. Damn shame.
