A couple of Next rumours from MacWeek's "Mac the Knife" page:

1) 5 important Next people have left the company, according to MtK at least
partly due to Job's management style. MtK sez that sales are slow and burnout
factor is hight.  Question: does anyone know who any of these people were,
specifically their job positions?  That is, have any (more) major people left?
(head of marketing left some time ago)

2) The color board may not be available by Fall, and Next is concentrating on a
50 MhZ 68040 machine which will be in a Sun-like pizza box.  It will have no
OD, but a 2.8 MB floppy instead.  Code name is "Warp 9".

Remember, these are rumours.  Your mileage may vary.
