Quite a few people ordered the new NeXT. Who can complain. However, I think Motorola is getting up to speed on on 040 production. So, maybe the Amiga 4000 will be out in a year or two. For now, Amiga users can always pay for an Amiga 3000 then spend another $1500(or whatever it costs) to upgrade to the 040. -Mike BTW: It feels good knowing that Word Perfect 5.0 runs on the NeXT. How's Commodore doing in getting software companies to take them seriously?
