- Well, as the official spokesman for Chicken Little [tm], I must say I tend to
- agree with Lucas. The momentum is gone from NeXTSTEP, I don't quite understand
- why, but NeXT seems to have put the skids on a number of fronts. NS-486, for
- example. We all saw it running last year, yet it is not released one year
- later. Unless Jobs has some new marketing trick up his sleave, he has doomed
- NeXTSTEP to an also-ran status. Which I find very sad. Remember, Beta was/is
- better than VHS. But JVC out marketed Sony. The best seldom wins, folks.
