FYI, I'm not sure if this is old news, but last
night I was watching "FlatLiners" on video, and in
a scene where Keifer Sutherland enters his apartment
you could see none other than a NeXT and NeXTprinter
sitting on his desk. Move over, Macintosh, the cameo
roles are now NeXT's! :^)

Move over, Macintosh, the cameo >roles are now NeXT's! :^) Yeah; as I recall, though, the NeXT machine HAD NO CABLES! It was a wireless NeXT machine! Or perhaps just moderately expensive table art. At least in the Paula Abdul video they had a working machine... Cool apartment, though. Late night... just rambling. -- Edward Jung Microsoft Corp.

It doesn't quite compare to the Macintosh manual showing someone apparently contemplating the screen, the camera being positioned so one can clearly see the power switch on the back of the machine turned OFF. Now THAT's a Mac classic. (Another Classic moment in Mac history?) -=EPS=-

He was probably thinking "I should dump this crap box and buy a NeXT!" :-) Varun -- You are young, they are old Control is all they've got to give Just live how you want to live Tiny things that make you slave Like a chain, an anchor to the bed of the sea
