Hmm, it depends on which issue you were concerned about.  Is this the "I  
want Release 3.0 on OD" debate?  Or the ADB debate?

On the ADB debate I certainly agree that NeXT owners should have the option  
to upgrade to ADB setup's.  NeXT has now standardized on ADB, with  
documentation already switched over to it (for instance).  I believe an  
option to upgrade to ADB would be very worthwhile to both NeXT and current  
NeXT owners.  Well, as long as the upgrade price is reasonable.

On the OD issue, I just don't agree.  I don't really think you would have  
paid the actual cost to NeXT for doing it (since so few people would have  
been in the market for an OD upgrade, the cost per person would have been  
significantly higher than the CD-ROM version).

In either case, this discussion probably belongs in csn.advocacy, instead of  
posting this as an article in two separate newsgroups (both csn.misc and  
csn.hardware).  You didn't even have the courtesy to make it a cross post,  
but sent once to each newsgroup.  The fact that you're still fed up with  
*NeXT* doesn't mean you are excused from ignoring the charters of these  
newsgroups.
