   Smalltalk & NeXT enthusiasts:

   If you are interested in seeing a good commercial version of
   Smalltalk on the NeXT I would like to solicit your support by
   calling the two main suppliers of same.  The current state, to the
   best of my knowledge is this:

   Parc Place Systems: 
      They are porting to the NeXT and expect to ship in a few months. (But I
      expect the price will be out of reach of many NeXT owners, based on their
      pricing on other Unix boxes.)

   Digitalk:
      They are in the early stages of their first port to a Unix box and they
      have selected the RS/6000 as their first target.  They have no plans to
      port to the NeXT because they perceive no demand there.

   Let's call these guys and show that there is some demand and that we want it
   reasonably priced.

Or, put a NeXTStep front end on GNU Smalltalk.  Think of the possibilities...
