But Byte often has cover stories on new machines within a few weeks of
when they're announced.  Macs, PCs, and SPARCstations often get top
billing when they hit the streets.

I presume this is because the companies making those machines give Byte
the inside scoop months in advance.  It looks as if NeXT decided not to,
for whatever reason.
