An article in the Wall Street Journal today said IBM plans to cut their
RS/6000 prices from 12% to 60%.  It also says analysts expect Sun and 
DEC to follow suit.  If NeXT's price restructuring does not move them
down the price scale, then it could be a major nail in their coffin.  
Let's all hope that this restructuring is motivated by foresight, and
not greed.
