And NeXTSTEP ported to those machines that are already on scientists desktops. Suns, especially. If NeXTSTEP itself was developed on Sun3's before the first NeXT prototypes (as one source has told me), then this is not a giant leap. Or even a small one. But I'm sure the guys at NeXT are all way ahead of us already on this score. They're no bozo's. Software, hardware--yes. The jury's still out on the others. And THAT is the problem here.
