One of the problems with this whole InCider and Apple and AE criticising
is contained in the first 5 words. A lot of people who seem to feel
everyone owes them a living couldn't be bothered buying anything for
the GS. Stealing software has had a bad effect on the non-educational
market.I personally think that InCider is doing what it has to in order
to survive. The future of the GS is tied to the way it interacts with the
Mac and through it the rest of the world.

That being said, I still feel the GS is a wonderful computer( and to the ST
person hanging around, System Software does count and the ST could do
with some work in that area). The GS is fully capable of surviving in
today's world but not at its current price point.

NeXTWorld is indeed quite nice and I hope they get their subscription
act together. I also hope that people will not move on to the NeXT in
order to ruin that platform through theft.
