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.
