No.  As I indicated in one of my postings, Motorola will not get be up
to full speed until January on the 040s.  But when Motorola does get there,
NeXT machines will ship in considerably larger quantities than 2500 a month.
It's just my own guess, but I think that 15,000 orders will be filled by
the end of February.  And this is what NeXT has been saying all along.  
NeXT promised that the 040 NeXTs would ship in November.  It did.  NeXT
says that the backorders will be filled in early 1991.  It looks like its
well on the way.
