- The following NeXT ad is running in the campus paper--the NeXT installment in
- the NeXT versus Sun war?
-
- "ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY REVEALS DAMAGING EFFECTS OF SUN.
-
- Here's a refreshing approach to advertising for you: No opinions, no
- theories, no wishful thinking. Just the cold hard facts about how today's
- developers and programmers feel about the major platforms.
- It's all here in this report from the independent management consulting
- firm, Booz Allen & Hamilton.
- In a world focused on downsizing, researchers asked more than 100
- professionals to compare the object-oriented NeXTSTEP (TM) development
- environment to other leading platforms, particularly Sun (TM).
- They asked about the quality of applications. User satisfaction.
- Development speed. Ease of maintenance. And application integration.
- We think the results will surprise you. Mainly because they surprised
- even us.
- At the risk of spoiling the ending, over 82% of those surveyed rated
- NeXTSTEP higher than any other environment. Not just in one or two areas, but
- in <<every major aspect>>.
- Call us at 1-800-TRY-NeXT and we'll send you a copy. You'll get a
- better idea of the advantages of NeXTSTEP--standard on all NeXT (TM)
- workstations and coming soon to the world of Intel (R) 486 (TM)-based machines.
- In the meantime, you might make an environmental study of your own.
- Spend some time in the NeXT world. And avoid prolonged exposure to the Sun.
-
- THE OBJECT IS THE ADVANTAGE."
