The progression of names of the IBM PC machines was PC XT AT.
Jobs' new machine is already called NeXT, So will his next
machine be called NeAT? ???.
Also does will NeXT have TeX and NeWS "?
Also in its naming scheme for PS/2s IBM missed a golden opportunity
It should have named the models 20, 30, 40, 50, announced a 60, 70,
and 80 but delivered a 65, 75, 85 and then filled in the line with
models like the 25, 44, 67, 91/92
