Thought some netters in this newsgroup might be interested
in knowing this.

NeXT introduced new NeXT machines yesterday.  Saw it on
campus today.  The new NeXTstation is a 'pizza-box'
style machine, though NeXT call it a slab.  It's specs
is almost the same as the Cube except the following:

1. 25Mhz 040, 15 MIPS. NeXT claims it runs Mathematica
faster than Sparc.
2. Optical drive optional, various sizes of hard-disks
are used, from 105Mb to gigabytes.
3. includes 2.88 Mbyte floppy capable of reading DOS
OS/2 format.
4. Price begins at $3370 (yes, no mistake) here at UT,
for a monochrome system, 8Mbyte RAM, 105Mb disk, 
Megapixel display with built-in mic, DSP, and the usual
bundled software.  Plus free Improv (new spreadsheet from
Lotus) if order before 12/31/90.
