- Let me see if I understand the gist of your statement Rob. You like
- NextStep. Effusive praise aside, NextStep does seem to be the OS that is
- closest to "The Right Thing". I used it to write my thesis and to control
- the SGI I used for number crunching. (I agree SGI's are wonderful
- creatures, but I found the OS they use somewhat clunky.) Now let me pose
- a question for discussion. What parts of the Mac System would everybody
- like to see ported to NextStep?
