Some months ago, IBM brought gave a RS6000 demonstration here. It looked like
they were running X-windows, so I asked them if NeXT Step was also available
for their workstation. They very quickly answered that yes, it was. However,
they didn't seem interested in talking about it. It seems to be an option that
is available if you specifically request it, but they're not going to bring it
up otherwise. Anyone know why? Are there perhaps problems with their 
implementation?
