I wouldn't worry just yet. It's clear that Cringely obtains his rumours  
from the net. Last week it was that the NRW is full steam ahead. This week  
it's the P5. Now think about what WE'VE been talking about for the past  
few weeks. My guess is that he just skims the message headers.

I also haven't heard any word from NeXT that the NRW is dead.
