Hi. We're considering buying a pair of Fibermux Crossbow hubs for our network (PC's + Macs). I was reading over the marketing hype, and when I saw the interface for the PC version of LightWatch I had to wonder if they had seen a NeXT before...talk about look and feel similarities... Even the Sun version looks like they got a few UI ideas from NeXT, although with Motif windows. But if you haven't seen it I'd recommend checking it out - it looks so much like NeXTStep (tm) that I wonder if they didn't develop it on a NeXT and then just write (copy) the interface for PC (this runs on DOS). So what does the net think? IS the sincerest form of flattery imitation...? Regards, Thor edmtl@fiol.uib.no -that which does not kill us makes us stronger. Nietzsche
