*GASP*!  You mean they don't use NeXTs with a mission critical DBKIT
app to handle their order processing, and resort to (paper?) lists?

I don't know what they really use, but I've heard that some of the best
mission critical apps were created and used by NeXT for their own internal
management.

Maybe there should be a distributed object or speaker/listener app that
connects to next.com and one can call up the info electronically.
Kinda like the telephone banking services but using computers.
Just a thought...
