Yeah, but With NextStep at least i get an operating system worthy of the
hardware requirements.
NT is really a damn bust. I saw NT on discount shelves at a computer sale
recently. Store salescritter said he wasn't seliing any of them!
Its been about three minutes since my last post on this subject, and I'm
getting more and more serious about doing something that looks like
nextstep.
Anyone else interested?
