   Bzzt.  Interface-building software has been available for the Amiga longer
   than the 040 NeXT has been available.  

That's been 6 months, and Commodore doesn't ship one with the Amiga.
The NeXT IB has been shipping free with the computer since 1988(89?).
How long has NeXT been in business?  They kind of didn't "officially"
release the machines until 89.  Oh well, my point was: "bzzt, you're
wrong.  You didn't read my original posting very well."
