Yeah!! I think NeXT should take advantage of all the good reviews it has  
so far received from the mainstream mags and use them for marketing (esp.  
advertising) purposes. Since these mags have a strong influence into a  
many people's mind (no matter what NexTies think about these mags), here's  
a modest idea I posted before:
	SunWorld logo here		SunWorld review quote here
	Byte logo here			Byte review quote here
	InfoWeek logo here		InfoWeek review quote here
	..etc				...etc
What do you think?
