A reasonable guess would be that Jobs and Sculley are getting the legal details about the new NeXT worked out. Rumor and speculation have it that Jobs signed some type of agreement with apple concerning the NeXT. The last thing Jobs would want, IMHO, is apple breathing down his back about legal infringement on the Mac. Keith Perkins Texas A&M University n245bq@tamunix.tamu.edu
