That is it (for now at least). Look at the direction NeXT has being going internally for the past 8 months. Bob Lawton came from Sun. He has worked on Soloris a PC unix. NeXT also recently hired Tom Lavelle, from Intel, as VP & secretary. Do you think all these PC people would be coming to NeXT if that wasn't going to be a MAIN direction for the company? I would like to see a 88110 machine from NeXT. In fact if they do have a prototype and aren not going to release it, I want to talk to them about licensing it from them. -- I speak for myself and NOT the company! -- -- Ian H.
