[comp.sys.next] NeXT review.

ntmx@vax5.cit.cornell.edu (03/27/90)

Edward,
Upon reading what you have to say,I feel that it is appropriate that I reply.
If you take a look at computer companies over the years, you can see that many
of them promise things, and hold them off, again, and again. From my
experiences, NeXT's product was out within 6 months of their expected release.
That is a lot quicker than other companies. Also, NeXT is a fairly new company,
while Apple has been around for years. You can bet that rumors were going
around about it's release (The II FX) for a while before it actually happened, too. Anyway,
 Being a student at Cornell when they (NeXT's)arrived, It seemed to me that
 NeXT had it's machine up and running on our campus very, very soon after they
 released it. To make a long story short, Just be patient. NeXT will only
release something when they are sure that it works. And I do mean work. You may 
have to wait a bit longer, but when it arrives, you don't have to recall it.
Take care.
