If it is VERY CLOSE (nudge, nudge, wink, wink), then maybe we can just start talking about the NeXT box in comp.sys.mac ;-) Seriously, there seems to be a trend towards increased connectivity (MS-DOS boxes being able to import certain Mac-produced files, and visa versa). Maybe it isn't too unrealistic to expect the NeXT box to read (and run...?) Mac programs. Maybe we will soon see Apple produce a "Mac card" that you can plug into your NeXT, enabling it to run Mac programs. >Just a thought... Same here. -Ted
