- Bullshit. It was as real as the demo NeXTstation Color I
- used months before they were being sold. It was as real as
- NeXTstep 3.0 was when I played with it before the public
- even knew it existed. NeXT delivers, baby, sometimes a
- bit later than we all wish, but just as surely as Windoze
- sucks.
