I certainly hope this is a rumor that turns out to be false, for I
have been waiting for September 18 and the introduction of the 68040
machine to buy a NeXT.

If it does not come with lisp, then I absolutely will not buy the machine.
I would be saddened to have to buy a Mac IIfx or a stripped Sparcstation,
but I cannot work without lisp.  I also know of several other people
considering the 68040 NeXT that couldn't buy a lispless machine either.

I hope, for NeXT's sake, that they and Franz can work out whatever
problems they may be having.
