	[...more specific objections to keyboard omitted...]

	As another data point, I bought one of the first NeXTstations.  I
	don't like the keyboard layout for the same reasons that have been
	beat to death on the net and probably resulted in the new ADB
	keyboard layout.  I also wish I had the new memory architecture.
	But there is no way to get either and I understand why and I don't
	want NeXT spending their resources trying to figure out how to get
	it for me.  I also don't want them to base decisions on new
	features on whether or not it is feasible to upgrade existing
	machines.  I would like them to include compatibility with
	existing SCSI peripherals and the NeXT laser printer/color printer
	so that, when the urge to buy one of the new machines gets
	irresistible, I can take along my peripherals.

	I love my NeXT.  I'll give it up when they have a new one I love
	enough better to put out the money.

	You don't see it that way and I'm not suggesting there's anything  
	wrong with your point of view but, as I said in the beginning, 	 
	this is offered as another data point.
