I got my invitation today (YIPEE!!!) and whatever it takes to make it
down to California, I will get there. If I have to crawl, I will bring
lots of Band-Aids(tm).

But anyway, the initation goes something like this:

"NeXT Computer, Inc. invites you to join Lotus and other industry partners
at Davies Symphony Hall 18 September 1990."

The Lotus on the first page is actually on the second page and you see it
through a hole cut out of the first page. When you open it up, here is a
list of "other industry partners" that you see.

Ashton-Tate
PLI
SD (I assume this is Stone Design)
Adobe
Oracle
Lotus
SAS
WordPerfect
Motorola, Inc.
Atlantix
Sybase
Conextions Incorporated
Visus
Imagine, Inc.
Media Logic (just the logo)
Right Brain Software
Toltec Human Services
Lighthouse Design, Ltd.
Altsys
Boss Logic, Inc.
Insignia
Adamation
Coda
HSD
Wolfram Research, Inc.
Metaresearch Incorporated
Canon
Knowledge Transfer International
Frame
Microstat Development Corporation
Digital Intrumentation Technology, Inc.

Software Ventures

I've heard of most of these and have guesses for what they are going to
produce (WordPerfect I would assume is going to do a word processor.)
So does anyone have speculation (or knowledge) on what the others are
going to do.
