If it wasn't Woz, it was a pretty good look-alike.... B) What is Apple going to do when the NeXT folks take the NeXTstation and do a comparision like the IIsi was compared with the (assumed) PS/2 model 70? "Well, we wanted to add Ethernet, so that's a slot...and Moto DSP processing...oops, we're now out of slots, but we still have to add support for multipixel (1124 by 7xx greyscale)....now, we have a 68040, which includes a math co-processor and MMU on-chip; with the SI you have to add that slot first...OK, so you're screwed if you need to add something on a board after that, but don't we look good in black?"
