It is completely irrelevant, what a rep. tells you on campus. If
he tells stuff like this, NeXT should make him shut up, because
he harms NeXT.
The only relevant things, are what you get as an official press
release. This does not mean, that any rumor and specualtion you
can find in some newspaper is true, but when you have the
company spokesmen/womyn releasing official statements to the
press, then it is relevant. And so far these announcements did
hold pretty well.
