Rumor Central in PC Week for August 6, 1990, says:

"Then, of course, there's 'Back Bay,' the graphical financial-modeling tool
for the NeXT machines (which should look very nice on NeXT's forthcoming
NeXT Dimension color workstations),...."

So now we know what the color NeXT is called?  You are entering the NeXT
Dimension....

I can't wait!

Notes From The Field, by Robert X. Cringely, in INFOWORLD for August 13, 1990
says:

"INSANELY GREAT?  Steve Jobs, who **lives** to take product risks, will either
teach us a lesson or not when he intros two new NeXT machines on September 18.

"Look for color and monochrome units based on 25-MHz 68040 processors.
The $10,000 color machine will have four slots and use the same case as the
current machine, which will no longer be produced.  The $5,000 black-and-white
machine will be a 'pizza box,' with a single slot.  Both units will have (at
last) a 2.88-meg 3-1/2-inch floppy, and a 100-meg hard disk.  The optical disk
will be optional, but bigger (512 megs).  The color machine will have a 
superfast 96002 digital signal processing chip."
