For your flaming pleasure, from Robert X. Cringely in Infoworld (10/5/92),  
with all the usual caveats that this is a rumor-based column:

	"...In the alternate worlds, other computing standards are  
probably dominant, which must be reassuring to Steve Jobs' NeXT Inc.,  
which is sure having a hard time making it this world.
	"The NeXT RISC Workstation (NRW) with its twin 88110s and  
sub-$10,000 price, still waits in the wings, though there is a chance that  
it may be delayed yet again as NeXT substitutes a 40-MHz 68040 box  
code-named Nitro and due in January.
	"NeXT's portable is done, too, if only Canon could ship its flat  
panel color displays. And NeXTSTEP 4.0 will get rid of the file system as  
we know it, substituting a databaselike approach using object storage  
technology from Object Design."

It's also been said that NeXT is the only company in Silicon Valley that  
leaks from the top. Hmmmmmmmmm........
