I think that in a year or so (yes, that *is* too long...) you will see a 
completely rewritten system (7.0) which will be a re-thinking of the present
interface, and incorporate new advances that have been made since the Mac
debuted.  Yes, the Mac is an overpriced machine, but stiff compition from
companies like Sun, Apollo, and yes, even NeXT, are going to put the flame to
Apple's foot.  At the moment, I really don't need UNIX or a 33MHz workstation
(it would be nice to have one, though), so I can't complain too much.  Sure,
I have gripes just like everyone else, but I doubt you'll find *any* computer
user who doesn't have a couple, regardless of what machine they use.  I'm
just sitting back and waiting (albiet *impatiently*!!!).
