- *GASP*! You mean they don't use NeXTs with a mission critical DBKIT
- app to handle their order processing, and resort to (paper?) lists?
-
- I don't know what they really use, but I've heard that some of the best
- mission critical apps were created and used by NeXT for their own internal
- management.
-
- Maybe there should be a distributed object or speaker/listener app that
- connects to next.com and one can call up the info electronically.
- Kinda like the telephone banking services but using computers.
- Just a thought...
