This week's Info World, "Reports from the Field" claims that NeXT has terminated the dual 88110 NRW and will go with the P5 (Pentium) from Intel in future machines. This sucks for a few reasons: 1. We won't have a faster NeXT till the P5 ships. 2. We're stuck with Intel. 3. The NRW will be AS FAST AS A HIGH-END CLONE. Basically, if you stick with NeXT you commit to NeXTSTEP 486. I was going to order a NeXTstaiton Turbo Color, but now it seems that a BUC (Butt-Ugly-Clone) is the best hardware investment for NeXTSTEP. Hey, IRIX ain't so bad...maybe I should go for an R4000 machine after all. Eric
