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. -- -Mont NeXTmail OK :-) President CP-NUG (Cal Poly NeXT User Group) mrothste@data.acs.calpoly.edu
