- It is my feeling that a poliferation of NS on various platforms will help
- not hinder the sale of NeXThardware. As NS becomes more accepted and
- people decide to go with it as on os then there will shurely be those
- people(companies) who will pay to get their hardware and os from the same
- source. If a company has a video problem and has to deal with both NeXT
- and some bizar 3rd party video card manufacturer to solve it that could
- represent more time/money that just going to NeXT.
