The latest info on NS486 seems to leave a big hole in NeXT's product line.
What about 24-bit color? All the info I've seen says 16-bit color max on
any PC. Doesn't the prospect of turning on persons to DPS and then leaving
them with the NeXTDimension as the _only_ 24-bit NeXTSTEP solution seem 
to be yet another major goof?

This, I hope, either means the ND will have a soon announced much improved
future -- or will be soon officially abandoned and a NRW as a 24-bit NS
solution will be announced. Silence on this issue would seem, to me, to be
unthinkable.
