I know everyone's excited about the NeXT machine, but what are the
rumors for Apple's direction in the future?  I know they are working
on a lot of things: sound, IPC, multitasking, NuGraph, and the fabled
rewrite of the system, but I'm interested to know what actual products
are on the slate, besides the laptop.  At the moment, it seems like
the price of an upgrade will be steep, since it would cost me $2000 to
upgrade to a Mac //x, but after Apple's production capabilities
increase, and after some portion of Apple's market share is threatened
by NeXT, the prices might drop.  What kind of machine will Apple have
out a year and a half from now?  (Maybe Apple should start spreading
rumors around.  These rumors about the NeXT machine seem to have
caught the imaginations of a lot of netters...)
