 This flame war is getting pretty lame. If you guys are all bored, there's a mac/toaster thing going on over comp.sys.mac.misc. Unless Mike can find some way to link the toaster to the NeXT, I think he'll be out of that one. 

As for the forbes article, it seems that the (okay, biased) folks over at comp.sys.next felt that the author was full of it and not very technically literate. I don't think they put a lot of substance behind it. caveat reader, I guess. 

BTW, is it just me or am I getting the opinion tha *some* of you want to see the NeXT fail? Maybe I'm just oblivious to something.
