Does this mean that IBM is going to ship the color version of
NeXTStep before NeXT?  And running on a _gasp_ DOS machine as
well?  I don't imagine that a ps/2 is going to give the NeXT
box anything to worry about when it comes to speed, but I'm
suprised that SJ would allow big blue to have the scoop on
color.  Even if it is "baby color" (to quote Mr. Jobs).

Steve.
