I agree with you 100%.  Lets look at the next machine.  It comes with
development software that's object oriented(for the most part).  It
comes with a SQL database.  It comes with Display Postscript, a Unix
mail program, music software, a good word processor, and the MACH OS!

Not one of these items is made by Microsoft.  
TOne of the best machines to come out in a long time and at a great
price and Microsoft doesn't have one claim to fame on it!!!  That is a
slap in the face to Microsoft (from Microsoft's point of view)  Yay!
Alright!  No more monopoly.

No more expensive development systems!

Look at what Mr. Joy said... Oh it isn't too different from whats out
right now.  Bullcra*!  Price is an important feature too!  He better
recognize the great features of the NeXT or start losing sales.

Go ahead Jobs!  :-)
