As long as your friend actually buys the software he will be using, we won't be the least bit offended :-) I actually think it's a very positive sign that non-computer-professionals can buy NeXTs and be happy with them. There are actually a substantial number of doctors, lawyers, and a few Indian chiefs who have standalone NeXTs and are using them for business productivity. I think it's the best computer in the world for productivity. Even though we're software developers, it's amazing how much time you spend typing and printing documents, sending and receiving faxes, Email, or using a database of some kind. All these things work great on a NeXT, and multi-tasking allows people to work in an interrupt-driven way, which is the way most of our days seem to go.... -- Glenn Reid NeXTmail: glenn@rightbrain.com RightBrain Software 415-326-2974 (NeXTfax 326-2977) Palo Alto, California Electronic Frontier Foundation, member #054
