As an ex-DOS/Windows user who converted to NeXTSTEP a year ago, it pains me to see the question "Whats a NeXTSTEP" posed in this or any other news group. The outstanding interface, ease of use, integration of applications and productive development environment make NeXTSTEP something truly unique in the history (and forseeable future) of personal computing. NeXTSTEP is not only *better* than Windows, Windows/NT, and the announced features of "someday" Windows versions like Chicago and Cairo, it has features and advantages that Microsoft cannot even imagine. You can't really explain it to a Windows user, it's got to be experienced. Under NeXTSTEP, so many things are *so easy*. When I go into my shop now and watch my experienced technicians and programmers wrestle with user's Windows problems, I'm continually amazed that a huge and wealthy company like Microsoft has had so much success with such a poorly designed product. NeXT has struggled for success since 1988, and their product (NeXTSTEP) is just so *beautiful*. -------------------------------------------- Gary Finley, Univ. of Alberta Psychology Dept. gf...@psych.ualberta.ca (NeXTmail welcome!)
