Numbers for the old NeXT computers.  20,000 of the new machines have been
ordered in 3-4 months.

>BTW, Apple sells 80,000 Macs a month.

As it should, since it is a PC after all.  A workstation, though, does not
sell in PC numbers.  Sun, the workstation bestseller, sells less than 10,000
machines each month.  If NeXT were to sell 80,000 machines a month, it would
have nearly 100% of its intended market.
