I have this dream of setting up a script to automatically post 1/7 of  
the "People" database to comp.sys.next.misc each day JUST to tick off  
the anti-rtf faction.

IMHO the problem is one of philosophy, not technology.  The NeXT  
allows you do things that the rest of the world can't keep up with.   
The question is, whose problem is it?  NeXTs/the NeXT users, or the  
rest of the world's?  I think it's the rest of the world's problem to  
keep up.

We had a problem at work lately:  people w/ 2400dpi color scanners  
making 40MB tiffs to put in Frame docs.  The NeXT could handle it,  
the scanner did it, Frame did it, the NFS file server (not a NeXT)  
puked.  Whose problem is it?  Looks to me like it's the file  
server's.

Same w/ RTF.  The NeXT does it.  NG does it.  If you don't do it,  
your broken.  Not us.

P.S. No, I won't post all of People, much as I would like to.  But  
maybe just one........
