I *WISH* I could do any of the above. There's some hole in the kernel
that when triggered causes your NeXT to literally turn into a black boat
anchor. You can't enter commands anymore. The NMI monitor will come up but
won't kill the machine. You quite literally have to pull the power cord.

If you think I'm kidding, just notice there is no word at all from NeXT. They
know of what I speak, hence their *total* silence.

Sure they can throw in this swaptimizer thingie, but it still won't fix this
hole in the kernel.

Desperate? What choice do I have? As far as I can tell NeXT has no working
color computers. Period.

Until they do, I must use PC based color hardware. The worst part is that I'm
forced to use Windows! I've got a NeXT, why the @#$! do I have to use Windows?
I've used PC hardware for YEARS and it wasn't until I bought a NeXT that I
wound up forced to use Windows. Sheesh! Is that a bad case of NeXT addiction
or what?
