Message-ID: Date: 28 Jun 90 17:37:28 GMT Sender: news@hamblin.byu.edu (0000-news(0000)) Organization: Brigham Young University Lines: 17 I noticed the following in the June 26 MacWEEK: (quoted without permission) "NeXT has been hit by a wave of defections lately. At least five key employees have left the cubist fold. . . .sources say Steve Jobs' management style has taken its toll on some of the toilers, and the burnout factor is reaching a peak. Sales are flat, and looks like the much ballyhooed color board for the cube may not be introduced this fall. "Instead, NeXT will focus attention on its new machine, code-named Warp 9. . . .sources now speculate that the new NeXT machine will be pizza-box shaped, like Sun's SPARCstation, and will be powered by a 50-MHz 68040. The 256-Mbyte magneto-optical disc will be dropped in favor of a 2.8 Mbyte floppy disk from Sony, and it will ship with a 200-Mbyte hard disk and 8 Mbytes of RAM." Now what do you think of that one?!
