Inquiring minds will just get to keep on not knowing.

I've been more than happy to share what I've learned about ADB. But I would
like to beta test NS486 and I'm not interested in engaging in a messy battle
about the kind of email I've been getting from next.com.

'Nuff said.

And no, I'm not an offical spokesperson for NeXT.

But again, there are no upgrades for unblessed machines. Getting an unblessed
machine upgraded is alot like stroking a cat's fur backwards. There's alot
of hissing, wiggling, and mental anguish involved.

So if you want to watch NeXT hiss and wiggle please don't tell them I talked
you into it. Please tell them the devil made you do it. :)

But there are things underway that may make NeXT irrelevent in the ADB
upgrade picture. Which will probably make NeXT quite happy. So stay tuned.
