- And NeXTSTEP ported to those machines that are already on
- scientists desktops. Suns, especially.
- If NeXTSTEP itself was developed on Sun3's before the first NeXT
- prototypes (as one source has told me), then this is not a giant leap. Or
- even a small one. But I'm sure the guys at NeXT are all way ahead of us
- already on this score. They're no bozo's.
