NeXT Year.
Motorola's new 40 MHz 68040 CPU will appear in a new NeXT model,
codenamed "Nitro" in January.  A NeXT portable will ship as soon as
Canon is able to deliver enough active matrix color flat panels.
NeXTStep 4.0 will substitute a database approach using Object Design
technology for the traditional file system.  A RISC workstation based on
twin Motorola 88110 CPU chips remains under development.  NeXT hopes to
keep the price tag for the RISC machine under $10,000.
