Sounds sort of like what I heard (minus the Nitro name).  I've heard that NeXT  
will supposedly have 'something good' in the way of new processing hardware and  
I also heard from a Chicago-based NeXT employee that it would be higher MHz  
machines (I don't know upon what chip this would be based).  I can't confirm  
this to not be a rumour (there might have been differences in what the NeXT-rep  
heard, what I heard, what this NeXT-rep meant, etc.)  so basically, even though  
I'm saying that I heard it from someone at NeXT, that isn't something that I'd  
gamble on.  With their track record of promises with hardware (NeXTdimension  
JPEG hardware anyone?) I'm not keen on basing big decisions on NeXT stuff until  
it's actually out.

I would never recommend or make any buying decisions (given the current  
situation with NeXT turbo machines being readily available) based on news like  
this until it appears in the NeXT hardware catalog and is orderable.
