Yeah, why would Steve Jobs ever believe that he could lead a band of
talented 'kids' to develop a new product in a tense rush with the future
of his company in question? :<) :<) :<)

First step: get a NS 3 release that we can install confidently.

Second step: ship NS 486.

Third step: market the above to get into volume.

Fourth step: ship on top performance desktop hardware (black or otherwise).

Yes, they are interrelated, but prioritized for convenience. I want a new
generation of hardware and am disappointed that NeXT basically shipped the
same hardware for a full year.

A safe and peaceful Christmastide to one and all,
