Question:

Given that after the PC the Mac must have one of the largest shares of the market.
is NeXTs move likely to be to create a version of NeXT Step that runs on the Mac?

Any one want to comment on how easy/dificult this would be to impliment?

john.

Ps. personnaly I would love to see NeXT Step on one of the power books!  though
I'm not sure I would want to do anything on them given that they are only 030's
at the best.

As Steve jobs said the thing NeXT customers want are: A Fast chip, Lots of
memory, A big screen and large amounts of disk space.  All of which consume large
amounts of Watts and are therefore contry to the key principle in implimenting 
a portable which is to use low power devices.
