It's the name that at least one of the NeXT sales force is using to  
identify the machine.  Whether the name originated at NeXT or in the rumor  
mill is academic at this point (although I'd be curoius to know what NeXT  
DOES intend to call the machine upon release)...

The increase from 33 Mhz to 40 Mhz (apporx 20%): I agree it is not a big  
breakthrough.  But it will zip up performance a bit, putting a better face  
on the NeXT as it comes under the glare of publicity from those who may  
not judge the technology as fairly as we do.  For the same (marketing)  
reasons, 40 Mhz is much better than 33.  The average Mr. MIS sees 40 Mhz  
as hot stuff, 33 as old technology.  Forget electronics here.  Since when  
did marketing and reality have anything in common.
