Norm,
    This weeks Infoworld has an column that slams into Lotus for their choice
of NeXT for their latest product instead of Windows 3.0.  They point out that
Lotus admits that a Windows 3.0 version will not be out in 1991 and that 
whatever new features Lotus has done will likely be duplicated by Microsoft
and others on Windows and the Mac long before Lotus has versions for those
OS's.  Their point is that either Lotus has the wrong product, or the wrong
time or in this case the wrong platform.
