In the April, 29 issure of Forbes, it says that NeXT sales are doing 
terrible, that the plant in Fremont Calif. is only running at 1/10 of
capacity, that nearly all sales have been at a steep educational discount,
and that Jobs will run out of cash in less than a year. ...sorry.

I read that CDTV and the Amiga were not to be displayed in the same room.
This second "fact" is the most questionable but the point is that in 
marketing, there are all sorts of things going on which could easily be 
misinterpreted.  C= may just have changed the policy.  

If you want to flame, we should take this to .advocacy.

And I say that people who like NeXT and people who buy NeXT are just plain
fucking stupid!
