I heard a talk from Chairman Steve recently, in which he said that Windows was the real target of NeXTStep x86. Which suggests to me the following slogan: NeXTStep: Curtains for Windows!

Don't you think they actually mean "It's the NeXT thing" (that's got them scurrying to make better equipment?) :) :) Just a thought...

(And $1000 is a low end, seeing that >you need a high end 486 to run the thing.) However, Windows seems to be heading for the same kinds of requirements. The original windows was bog slow on a 386 so I think you might need a 486, 6-10Mb of RAM and a big HD to get the most out of it. At that point, another $1K for a real OS starts to make sense. -- Bob Peirce, Pittsburgh, PA rbp@investor.pgh.pa.us 412-471-5320 venetia@investor.pgh.pa.us [NeXT Mail] !uunet.uu.net!pitt!investor!rbp [UUCP]
