   You show me, dog-breath, where *anyone* from the University

   posted even a mildly negative comment about the NeXT sales
   program at this university.  If you can, I will promptly
   apologize for calling you a name.  In return, assuming you
   cannot produce -- I've tried to be a little more than
   ordinarily vigilant, both before and since calling you
   earlier on this mistake -- I think fairness indicates that
   you should apologize to me and to my institution.

Think you might be overreacting?

Btw, who posted from UIUC?  Do they happen to know Doug McDonald from
the Chemistry department?  He's got a few NeXT/Unix horror stories.  I
particularly like the one where the NeXT salesman crashed a NeXT while
running Mathematica, and 1/2 hour later the machine still hadn't be
rebooted.
