[comp.sys.next] Egg on my face

6600pete@ucsbuxa (12/20/89)

OK, enough already!

It becomes more and more apparent that the guy who did the background
spiel on the NeXT for our campus had his head up his butt.

Enough people have told me how wrong I am on the hardware issues involved
with the NeXT that I think I will remember my mistakes longer than the NeXT
or any other currently envisioned computer is around.

I've messed with the software environment of the NeXT a fair bit,
but I will freely admit to never having opened one up and looking inside.

Additional admission of guilt: having a campus rep with his head up his butt
is no excuse for my ignorance! I should have known better than to trust one
account of the situation.

And to those of you who saw this nonsense unfold in comp.sys.next, I'm
sorry any of this got cross-posted into your group.
