 "Marc" directed this at the Apple // group instead of the Macs:

 "<C| I can't believe this decision by Apple to single handedly wipe out

Get used to it.  We in the Apple ][ camp did ten years ago.

And it should be no surprise, Marc.  Circa-1985 machines do not run any
SW written after 1990, machines made in 1990 don't run anything written
after 1995, see the trend?  And yet all of these are called Macs.

They've come mighty close.  Which is part of why Jobs hopped in bed with
Gates (eewww, what an image), to save Apple's bacon from the fires.

NeXT is a pretty decent company.  The NeXT computer was 10 years ahead
