| 
|   
| 	16 M Ram
| 	15" color monitor ( 1024 x 768 ) 100 DPI
| 	207 MB disk
| 	$4295 ( with discounts for quantity )
| 
|   
|   and for the station LX
| 
| 	16 M Ram
| 	16" color monitor ( a few configs )
| 	42 NB disk
| 	ISDN on motherboard
| 	$7995

|   Is this good news or bad news for NeXT?  I don't see how it could be good news.

	It's VERY bad news for NeXT hardware!  No news for NeXTSTEP (except,
whatever happens to NeXT hardware would directly affect NeXTSTEP since they're
directly linked until NeXTSTEP486 is available).

	When are the above systems going to be ready?

	Maybe this is a good time for NeXT to re-evaluate their hardware
strategy and decide which future they should follow:  a software ONLY future,
with NeXTSTEP as it's flagship product ported to different platforms (i.e.,
Suns, SGI, etc.), or continue their current trend with their hardware as
their primary source of revenue (not to mention Steve Jobs payoffs)!
