The article said NetINFO will be ported. 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.
