  As for bargain 040 Macs, it is important to remember that NeXT was reaching
a do or die point and that few would try to price quite so agressively. Apple
isn't the only major company with zero long term debt for nothing. As usual
Apple will test the waters with a really expensive 040 FX type machine and
introduce more performance features and VLSI. Then when Motorola can supply
them with the chips at a lower price we'll shortly see 040 ci's and SE/40's.
Kinda a boring, but rather likely...
