- The logically NeXT step would be Canon taking a majority share. The only
- problem is, that Canon is no computer company per se. What they could do is
- market Next-Step as a multimedia-integrating platform binding together various
- Canon products.

- However, I think that Next is one of the best buys as a computer company at
- this time. It can not be underemphasized how important differentiation through
- software is and will be in the future.
