From the mouth of a NeXT employee this evening (20 Nov 90),
"The first 68040 systems shipped this afternoon."

My suspicion (that NeXT would continue to work on 2.0 until the last
minute before the hardware was ready) was, I believe, correct.

Having to wait for hardware isn't fun, but we'll probably get a
significantly more stable software release because of the delay.

For those who havn't seen it, 2.0 is very nice.  You'll wonder how
you lived with 1.0.
