	And that was *exactly* the right thing for them to do.  
	But releasing software for a hardware platform is not necessarily
	tied to NeXT releasing the hardware platform themselves.

	Point:  There is no way that NeXT can compete in the 	
	Intel based PC market.  I would be surprised if they 	
	could offer prices competitive with the systems IBM 
	and compaq are shipping these days, let alone the
	Death Clones (tm) coming in from everywhere.
