Warning.  Anti-NeXT agitprop follows...


	A) Was anyone asking about the NeXTstation prices?  No.

	B) No, you can't get it.  Motorola still isn't mass-producing
	   the 68040, so Steve can't get his chips.  Yet.

	C) "All I need is Improv and WriteNow...
	    All I need is Improv and WriteNow...
	    All I need is Improv and WriteNow..."
	   No matter how many times you say it, it still ain't true.

	D) Does anyone -really- have need for home Ethernet?  I know
	   I really need to ftp to my microwave...

	And of course, read in smileys and <grin>s as needed.

	Disclaimer:  Lies.  Damn lies.
