It also gives me a warm feeling in that US can have a product
such as NeXT's machines which might sell on their own merit,
rather than governments forcibly giving 20% of markets to
American companies.

Frankly, Kanji environment on workstation class machines
really sucked!  Nemacs(Japanese version of emacs) in kterm
(ditto for xterm) in X11 is not my idea of fun.  Certainly,
my mother wouldn't use such a thing.  She might use the NeXT's.

Good for the USA.  And tell the Iacocca guy to learn from Steve,
or else quit.
(What the guy is saying is laughable.)
