Talk about 88x00... :-)

Hey guys, look at Motorola's new RISC MultiPersonal Computer! They are based 
on M88x00! According to the ad, it says M88000, but a M88100 is shown. It
performs over 60 MIPS.  MultiPersonal Computer runs Unix SysV, and X-Window
R4. But look how they make X-Window GUI look somewhat similar to NeXTStep! A 
column of Appl icons on the right of screen. comes with softwares, ready to go 
right out of box.  Software included like Uniplex, Oracle or Informit 
relational data base. FrameMaker. The ad has SoftPC running in a window which
is, IMO, running Lotus 1-2-3. Another window that is mostly covered by another 
window, seems to be Mac emulation, who knows, I am just guessing 'cause it 
looks somewhat like Apple's GUI.

Perhaps Moto wants NeXTstep running on their MultiPersonal computer too! :-)
