Peter van Cuylenberg recently told me that NeXT had identified three  
distinct markets (direct corporate sales including government,  
dealers/VARs/VADs/system integrators, and academe), and that NeXT would be  
reorganizing its sales force to explicitly reflect these three different  
markets. Indeed, actions speak louder than words.

it reminds a lot of people of the way I pitch horseshoes. Would you  
believe some of the people? Would you believe our dog? Look, I want to  
give the high-five signal to high tech."
