What can I say? Look for 3.0 around that time that the two previous systems  
were announced (Sept/Oct) probably shipping by the end of the year? For all  
those who are still in doubt, I personally talked to a NeXT engineer at one of  
those developer's lunches in *November* and he said that he had Renderman up  
and running on the NeXT (he was one of the guys working on it.) So, at least we  
know it runs on the NeXT.
