I wonder what quantities NeXT will start shipping. With other
words, I wonder volume of '040's they will be able to secure from
Motorola, once they do start shiping ? How far backordered is NeXT
with the NeXTStation as well as the '040 upgrade ?

If I order a NeXTStation or an upgrade today, when should I get it ?
