It seems to me that even if NeXT were to 'fold' they'd just cut off
the parts least needed: all the hardware production stuff.  I'm sure
someone would happily take that plant off their hands.
I think that dev. would continue on NeXTSTeP...  That's where the
flash is in the machines is these days.

And then there's my tragic fantasy:
NeXT goes down.
Steve says FYA to the rest of the OS's - *GIVES NeXTSTeP to the FSF*

Imagine...

I think that no matter what happens, NS will live.
