- It seems to me that even if NeXT were to 'fold' they'd just cut off
- the parts least needed: all the hardware production stuff. I'm sure
- someone would happily take that plant off their hands.
- I think that dev. would continue on NeXTSTeP... That's where the
- flash is in the machines is these days.
-
- And then there's my tragic fantasy:
- NeXT goes down.
- Steve says FYA to the rest of the OS's - *GIVES NeXTSTeP to the FSF*
-
- Imagine...
-
- I think that no matter what happens, NS will live.
