While I often find Philip's critisism of various NeXT follies
on target, I have to disagree with the above point.

As far as I've seen, NeXTstep and the machines have
supported unix networking out of the box, and 3rd parties
have offered connectivity solutions for Mac
networking.  The Mac is the opposite.  How does that make
the Mac better?
