>Why don't you throw Windows in there too since that's what people actually buy.< As APPL is positioning itself as the preferred platform to create content for a multi-platformed environment, that comment is not without merit. NeXT offers very capable tools for doing this. (Reminds me of a Tony Curtis line as he was ordering some POWs about in their native Italian. He turned to an incredulous Gregory Peck and said "My family runs a store in Brooklyn, you have to know five languages to do business.") This dovetails with SUNW-Java/IBM/MOT/Netscape/et al's initiative to create more open standards and not be hogtied to MSFT. Reportedly, an NT-based OS was high on the list of AAPL's options. I guess $400 million for NeXT was cheaper than an NT site license. :) soup PS. Welcome back. Happy Holidays!
