I don't know either--but I have corroboration from multiple independent reliable sources that *Nitro* machines not only exist, but have been delivered to selected registered developers. "So what?" As far as the general public is concerned, nothing has changed. There are no new announced products. Until then, nothing is cast in stone, and Nitro is nothing more than a prototype for something that may never be offered for sale. That's up to the marketroids--who have stated their intent to deliberately delay introducing any new hardware until The Appropriate Time (i.e. when a competitor needs to be trounced). NeXT's hardware engineers aren't sitting on their butts. When Marketing finally says "give us the best you've got" it's going to be the best they've got that week, not the best they've got right now. -=EPS=-
