It is my feeling that a poliferation of NS on various platforms will help  
not hinder the sale of NeXThardware.  As NS becomes more accepted and  
people decide to go with it as on os then there will shurely be those  
people(companies) who will pay to get their hardware and os from the same  
source.  If a company has a video problem and has to deal with both NeXT  
and some bizar 3rd party video card manufacturer to solve it that could  
represent more time/money that just going to NeXT.
