[comp.sys.next] workstation bruhaha

I think it is about time to tone all of the traffic about whether or not
the next machine is as good as (fill in your favorite). I was really
hoping that this newsgroup would be filled with interesting facts and
tidbits about the cube for people who actually have them or people who
are actually interested in having them and not with a bunch of discussions
about whether a machine needs X windows or emacs to qualify as a workstation.

Grow up. NeXT has accomplished an outrageously nifty product and it is only
the first pass! Who knows what they will come up with when they get a chance
to sit back and think for a while... I'm sure that faster processors figure
in there somewhere. In the meantime keep in mind that the NeXT cube is
their version of the MAC-128K. Just wait for the NeXT-II if it isn't enough
for you and quit putting so much junk in my face to wade through...

Mail your flames. I don't mind deleting them...
