Why does everyone here think that the future will belong to nextstep?
Correct me if i'm wrong, but NeXtstep is the first major implementation
of an object based environment (except smalltalk perhaps), and pioneers only 
ever lead when a technology is new. Where is the Xerox Alto? Let's face 
it, Pink will be better than NeXTstep is today, because Apple will have used
NeXTstep as a prototype for ideas, identified the faults, and done something
better. (If they haven't then i'll be mighty surprised, i mean, what'd be the
point?)
	Of course I may be wrong. NS4.0 might be a winner. But to be so
it'll have to be a generation ahead of NS3.0 
	Just some thoughts.
