- Is it all that important? Especially considering the ease with which
- applications are being ported to NeXTstep 486? And considering their
- insanely-great production line that can be reprogrammed in no time?
- There's no problem with coming out with a different processor every
- year. Your distributed executables might start to get a little large,
- but there would be some utility to keep only the part for your machine
- so it wouldn't clog up your hard disk.
