- Unfortunately, I started this project a little too late to
- give the voters a really long time to think about and vote for the choice
- products of 1992. However, next year the organization of the NUCA will
- be better. Also I'm working on getting the trophies finished. I hope
- to have them out to all the winners ASAP.
- Drum roll... And the winners are...
- Well, the people have spoken and the best NeXTSTEP product of 1992 is
- NeXTSTEP 3.0. Kudos to NeXT for putting out a really nice product
- The really hot products this year were NeXTSTEP 3.0, Virtuoso,
- DataPhile and the Zyxel modem. These products received the greatest
- number of votes in multiple categories. NeXT did very well; they won
- in the Overall Product of the Year, Software Development, Software
- Wordprocessing (actually the most common response to this category was
- "What wordprocessor?"), Software Utility, Hardware Display, Hardware
- Mass Storage, Hardware Printing/Output, Hardware Video, Hardware
- Other, and Overall Best Hardware categories.
- Altsys' Virtuoso was the single best product in that it won in
- the Software Desk Top Publishing, Software Graphics and Overall Best
- Software categories.
- Congratulations to all of the winners!

- in the submissions directory--if I can get it up there!)
