    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. 

All this talk about the Toaster!! It's neat, but how many people own 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. 

What did it say?  The previous poster just said that it doesn't look
good for NeXT but he didn't say why?

   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.

Of course they do.  They feel very threatened.  It's only going to get
worse.  Wait until the NeXTDimension Board is actually released!  Then
NeXT year there will be a 30-50 mip(maybe faster) NeXT in the $10,000
range.  NeXT is on the move.  Soon we'll have the best games in the
business too :-).
