> His mentioning using PostScript for a file server is particularly interesting: Sun's next version of NFS is going to use PostScript with file extentions as the client-server protocol!

I seem to remember people writing Postscript that when printed turns your printer into a file server, so in a way that idea came true!
To me it seems like the attempt here is to make Postscript into what Javascript became. Although Postscript is a beautiful language it’s probably too unapproachable for the average person so it didn’t work out (for that) where Javascript did.
