- Hmm, ... I thought Jobs has been the keynote speaker in several important
- computer exhibitions and shows this year! I must say that he is gaining
- credibility with his Object-Oriented stuffs and NeXTSTEP 486. Perhaps, your
- friend's mind was not logical enough for me to understand (or may be because
- he/she uses DOS/Windows ... if so that's nothing new. They are so stuck that
- they cannot see which one is logical, like: copy a:*.* c: instead of drag and
- drop ... or perhaps he/she becomes too smart?)

- Well, may be after being fully owned by Japanese, it will sell better like
- Japanese cars and electronics. I don't mind at all! Personally, I would rather
- have a Japanese-owned NeXT than pure American crap like Windows NT. I don't
- care about who makes what or where it is made as long as they are superior
- product, I'll take it. American products lost the battle in cars, electronics,
- and many more to come ... Face it. Most Japanese products are currently just
- superior and I have no complaint or worries even about NeXT's future. It just
- works ... simply and logically!
