Worse than that, maybe. I rang them up to talk to Scott Wisdom (who'd
worked on the NeXT port), and was told that he's ah...."no longer with
the company." "How long ago was that?" quoth I. "About a month or so."

I'd be willing to bet dimes to dollars that their marketing pinheads
simply decided that there weren't enough megaunits of BlackBox selling
yet, and that it didn't matter somehow that there would be absolutely
NO competition on the current market. You just have to wonder about a
firm that'd pass THAT up to chase the IBM market. Sheesh.
