Howdy, NetLanders,

     Just thought I'd thow my 2cents woth into the NeXT rumor mill.

     I just talked to Nick Arnett about his article of "wild rumors."
Seems that some of what is in there is straight from Jobs' mouth -- and
raised eyebrows when Nick mentioned the optical disc drive.  The drive
will hold 265Mbytes, as it turns out, and is completely optical, not
magneto-optical.  

     For each of the features mentioned in the story, there are three
independent sources (all quite secret, naturally.)

     Finally, some more tidbits:

     The machine will have a 56000 DSP chip on board -- a real serious
sound crunching machine that runs (I think) at 68 MIPs.  At least it
does on the high-powered sound cards that use it.

     If you want to SEE what the NeXT machine will look like, get
hold of the upcoming Info World issue.  They have a picture.

     So there.

Disclaimer:  Mine, all mine.
