In the NeXT article in this months Forbes it said that even the figure of
8000 personal workstations (I think) was high since more than half of 
those sales figures were for upgrade boards to the 040.  It also said
that the NeXT factory was only operating at 1/10 of its capacity.  This
talk of back orders sounds a little fishy to me.  I get the idea that
NeXT may not be around about this time NeXT year.
