I assume by ``here'' you mean at Citicorp. I would be interested
in knowing what the business folk thought of the machine, since
NeXT has supposedly altered their target audience to include
businesses (with, of course, a base price of $10k instead of $6.5k).
In particular, does Citicorp plan to purchase any?
