CBS saturday morning has a graphic:

    Ne
    XT

with capitalization exactly like the NeXT cube logo, in the same square format,  
which they use in rotation with other forms of the word 'next' to promote the  
coming show!  The letters are all black, but to myself and my wife, it sure  
went into the NeXT trademark 'socket' in our brains!

NeXT, better check out the TV!
